The car ride here took forever! I thought it would never end! But yet here we are in Saint Petersburg, Russia! The population is 190,041,297. (is that more than the us?)When we got here the 1st thing we did was check into the Petro Palace Hotel. This hotel is very old. Well, sorta you see it was opened in 2005 but the building it is in is a restored 19th century building. After that we traded our dollars for rouble's, which is their currency. They have many natural resources, like oil, natural gas, and coal. Anyway, after we toured the city we eat at a fancy resturaunt and had steak with a side salad. We drank sweet tea with lemon. I wonder what adventures tommorow will hold!!!!!!
