198. Snow, snow, snow! It has been snowing for five days straight. A few weeks ago we were all skeptical if it would come before we left because St. Petersburg was having an unusually warm (warm to the locals, but not to us) November. Just as Sveta had predicted, she planned to take us to Pushkin, Catherine the Great's palace, at the end of November because the snow would make the gardens beautiful. Inside the gigantic palace, which is still being restored from WWII destruction, the Baroque 18th century and Neo-Classical 19th century styles played out in every ornate room. One room was even made completely out of amber.
