After our recent trip to St. Petersburg, where you hosted us with so much competence and navigated that complex and invigorating city so that it became accessible to us two--very--Americans, now, back in the States, I went to Eagle and the Bear to read about where we'd been. In the past you've written about the city but today the top story was on your trip to the Ukraine. It was very entertaining--but to be so bold as to make a request: I'd love to read about some St. Petersburg gems: the ballet, the Russian Museum (fabulous!), the trips down the canal. Even the artist on the street who sold us our painting of St. Isaacs. It was all so wonderful; it's an incredible city. I know you've written a lot about "Piter" in your blog, but I look forward to hearing more in depth this summer. Hey Alec!
