18 дней в Петербурге: Днем 15.12

We went to the Saint-Petersburg Theatre of Musical Comedy to see Baroness Lili
Why, yes, I am a saucy Mer-Man with Fabulous Hair and Posing Style.
Odd flying, floating, fat babies on the handrails.
Such a lovely theater!
Remembering the good times Baku Style: Stout interspersed with double Vodka at 2 am.
18 дней в Петербурге: Днем 5.12

The day of all things Russian started with stumbling upon…
…a zombie (or other monster) bust, and a little man sporting wild facial hair perched on the walls of a kafeBar
…where we ate bread sticks (crumbs) the staple of barKafes while sipping tea and waiting for the…
Russian Vodka Museum!
More wild facial hair greeted us…
Making us wonder: is untamed facial hair and a heaving bosom a requirement of being involved in Vodka’s history?
Leaving questions of facial hair and bosoms to long que’s at the post, we stumbled upon a room of delights! 200 varieties of Vodka!
When in Russia, do as the Russians! 3 different shots: Regular, Ginseng/Honey, Extra fine. 3 different chasers: a pickle, toast with herrings, toast with horseradish/lard.
2 down, 1 to go! My favorite was the Gingsing/Honey.
I had a moment of silence for the no-longer existing ‘Vodka Dispensing Machine’.
Not having gotten enough of Russian culture, the next destination was obvious: Church of the Spilled Blood.
The столовая next door for cabbage, baked cauliflower and сок.
Next, due to a serendipitous error on my part, we ended up at the gala celebration of an opera compitition at the Philharmonic-and sitting in the very front row.
After all the gum flapping, the singers got down to business and we heard 8 different artists sing 8 different opera pieces.
