Today was Mom's cousin's last day here. We went to the Peter and Paul fortress via Gor'kovskaya Metro station, and on the way stopped for a cup of coffee. Well, the adults did anyway... :P It was an awesome little place, and I took lots of pictures. In fact, on the door it said "Please Photo". :)

So we went to the fortress, walked past the Монетны Двор and saw a man swimming in the river.... 

I should probably mention it was 3 degrees Celsius outside. Brrrr!

Anyway, after that we walked around the harbor, went for a snack and dropped Mom's cousin off at her hotel so that she could get her stuff together before going to the airport. Then we went home and cleaned the house. Now I am catching up on some much-needed blogging. :P

Apparently this coffee was fantastic. Naturally I wouldn't know… :P
