Sometimes Vika (the beautiful young lady who was our adoption trip
translator and was here for the past two Bright Futures camps) and I
correspond via email, and since I sent her a link to some pictures, she
returned the favor. Turns out last month she took a trip to St.
Petersburg and Turkey:
I'm fairly certain the above photos were taken at the Hermitage (maybe Mom'll know? she's been there, I believe).
Presumably Russia's got its retired-battleship-turned-tourist-attraction, too. ;^)
Considering the sudden change in attire (from chilly weather to warm),
I'm guessing this one was taken in Turkey. Neat waterfall in the
background!

I'm fairly certain that's not the Hermitage in metro-Nashville, TN - the home of Andrew Jackson. I've been there. The slave quarters nor the home itself were so adorned in gold. It's a good thing we have moms!
I'm fairly certain you're correct that it's NOT in Nashville, TN, Plummy.
Better not have been! If I found out she was that close and didn't let us know, she'd be in deep weeds, indeed. >:^(
It is the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Tho when we were there for a day, it was Leningrad. Guards and all. I took a pic of the door knobs in that room, they had ruby type knobs. If I can find them I'll send pic to Anne and she can put it on blog.
