Yeah, I saw the Romanov graves today... no big deal

Today we went to Peter and Paul Fortress. The fortress itself was a big deal, of course, because it was the beginning of St. Petersburg, as well as later a really scary prison for dissidents. The best part, however, was getting to see the graves of Nicholas II and the Romanov family, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, and a few other really important czars. They are buried in the Peter and Paul Cathedral.  Very, very, very cool.

Tomorrow we are going to Novgorod pretty early, so I better get packing and sleeping. More later!
