Saturday

We went to the Hermitage Museum on Saturday to get out of the apartment.  The paintings from the Van Gogh Museum (that we've seen before) are on display at the Hermitage while the Van Gogh Museum is being remodeled.  We walked by the Irish Pub that is a couple of blocks from the apartment and saw the sign in the first photo.  A Polish group playing traditional Irish Music!  Per the caption on the photo we did return at about 11 PM Saturday night.  But it was too crowded for us!  I am too old to be standing in a jammed bar fighting my way to the bar for a beer.  So we went home and stayed up to 1 AM watching TV.

The photo of the shiny dress at the Hermitage says it all.
