Today, Monday 12-14-09, Joyce and Stephanie picked us up at 10 a.m. and off we went for a day of touring. We started with the Church of Spilled Blood, it is built on the place where one of the Czar's of Russia was killed, the bottom pic is the cathedral bathed in sunlight, the first we have seen in the week we have been here. The next pic up is the front of a building on the canal leading to the cathedral, the next pic up is the same building, the cathedral in the distance, and the buildings lining the canal. The orig plan for this city was to have it full of canals like Venice Italy, after building several canals tho the city flooded one year and killed many people, that stopped the building of all these canals. There are plenty as it is.
