Dinner at last! This rabbit and mushroom quiche was delicious…maybe my favorite dish on the whole trip. |

View from my room at the Istoriya Hotel overlooks a stunning pair of lions holding up the bridge over the Griboyedov Canal. |

Start the day at the Rimsky-Korsakov St. Petersburg State Conservatory. It was founded in 1862 by composer Anton Rubinstein sitting behind me. Graduates include names we all know like Pytor Tchaikovsky, Sergey Prokofiev, George Balanchine and many others. In 2012 the conservatory will celebrate its 150th anniversary. |
