Well well well... from March 28th to April 3 my mom and dad and I spent our time in London. I surprised my parents by arriving in London by myself from Stockholm and knocking on their bedroom door. I think they were sleeping becuase they looked pretty tired when they answered the door. Welcome to Jet-lag Mom and Dad! The first day I was so exhausted from my trip to Russia I just wanted to crash and sleep for the week! But no, we didn't do that at all. We star...

Day Seven: Monday, 26 MarchAnother day in St. Petersburg! Even though I think the city is so pretty, it is very polluted with dirt in the air and dust everywhere.

We had a guide telling us the history of the city and famous buildings and we were able to stop along the way to see the fmaous sights. One of the most interesting stops was when we saw a bear drinking out of a...

Since I have gotten back from my three week vacation I know I have a lot to write about. So I will break my Russia trip up in Days of the trip. Day One, March 20:This was just a travel day for the four of us from Vaxjo who went on the trip to Russia. We left Vaxjo in the AM and traveled by train to Stockholm. We bummed around the town and had to be at the ferry landing in the evening. The boat left at 8 pm and we explored the ferry (it was HUGE!)... had some fun ...
