A walk from the Hermitage to the Church of the Spilled Blood

Outside the Hermitage...I had already been there, but it's really necessary to go 2-3 times to see the whole thing!

St. Petersburg has a lot of bridges...

and canals!

Too bad it's already dark at 3:30pm...but it's a beautiful city at night too!Souvenir shop...I think a lot of these are based on Baba Yaga, a witch who shows up in a lot of Russian folk tales.
