Third Highlight on Trip to St. Petersburg!

The third highlight was meeting up with our friends Yuliya and Harvey, who were visiting from California. We were present at the evening Harvey proposed to Yuliya, which we thought was really lovely! We also celebrated Harvey's 30th birthday on my last day there. Wow, talking about DOING IT ALL! :-)

Here some pics from the birthday dinner at a hungarian restaurant!!!

Grilled, stuffed eggplant rolls and red-beet herring salad
Carrot and apple salad with hazelnuts and hazelnut oil...

The world famous hungarian "borsch"
After dinner we stuck around and took some snapshots in the traditional kitchen style dining room...

The Christmas decorations were simple, yet very fitting... I loved the twisted raffia style garland!
They DID have a very artisan toilet...along with matching water tank!



I don't know how we had the energy to go dancing at Club "Rossi" afterwards...but somehow we managed.



I returned to Munich on Jan. 4th and Carlo stayed another week.

On Jan. 7th I was already off to Texas to spend time with my mother and organize our wedding celebration in May...
