Tues. Aug. 20, e

Our final stop for the day was at the Peter and Paul fortress. Here is Elena with her DenRus sign waiting for the 16 of us to gather. We were going in the yellow building which was a church. The smaller building was built to house Peter the Great's boat. (He liked to have buildings protecting his rather mundane things. He lived in a log house while St. Petersburg was being constructed. There is now a brick building surrounding it.)


The Royal family is buried here.


This room is for the last tsar and his family. They are under the white marble tomb.


And of course there is gold.
