St. Petersburg-1

Already packed half my bag for the flight to St. Petersburg early Monday morning. I am meeting Prof. Dr. Peter von Longlegs at the airport before we board an Aeroflot flight to St. P. We are the guests of Petersburg University.

They are hosting a conference of academics from all quarters of the globe. I got an invitation via Peter. A first time visit for me. My experience of Russia is Moscow airport in 1982. I trust this will be very different.  Hope to take lots of photos and share on my return. Please note the following:

I shall be in St. Petersburg until Saturday 30 August 2014. There will be no posts to my blog until the first week in September. Enjoy the rest of August wherever you are!
