Del told us to bring champagne and cheese. Vodka
and pistachios, same thing.
 |
Here we are, ready to get this party started. | |
 |
Dr. Qualin busts out the guitar, and we drown out the tour guide with Russian songs. | |
 |
Our first stop is at the Bronze Horseman. Ben's only just begun. | |
 |
Joe, you alright there, buddy? | |
 |
Kyle drinks a toast to St. Isaac's. | |
 |
More singing. People are actually throwing rubles at this point. If you look closely at this picture, you can see the ghost of Akaky Akakyevich trying to steal Cassidy's hockey jersey... | |
 |
One happy group! | |
 |
Things start to get weird on the bus... | |
 |
Travis, Sara, Caitie, Tori, and Bob. | |
 |
Palace Square, still singing. Only Dr. Qualin is still singing at this point. Probably Vysotsky. | |
 |
Now it's time to gather along the Neva embankment to watch the bridges go up. | |
 |
And now we're on a boat in the Neva. Here's Bob and Sara, Caitie, Brandy, Tori, and me. | |
 |
And the bridges are up.... | |
 |
...and we're going through them. Beautiful. And somewhere in the boat, Dr. Qualin is still singing. | |
