Our 2nd day in Russia. We went to Peterhof Palace. This is where the Romanoffs stayed (Catherine the Great). I really enjoyed this excursion. I just love palaces!!!
This is our tour guide, Anastasia. Isn't that the perfect Russian name?
Common Russian cars, the Lada
Another church
Peterhof Palace
More beautiful gardens, Peter was good at this
We look so cheesy with our headphones for the tour
The wonderful fountains.
We weren't aloud to take pictures inside, so I found these on the internet. This is exactly what we saw. Don't you just love the internet!!
This is a painting of yes, Catherine the Great dressed as a man on a horse and that one of the royal chairs. This palace had magnificent wood floors. Just look at the neat designs. They actually made us all wear booties covering our shoes while inside the palace.
This is one of a few Chinese Rooms
More neat woodwork flooring
One of the ballrooms
The guilded staircase that we walked upJake took a few videos of the fountains going off with the music. The fountains have the water come out by gravity only.
