St. Petes, day two. :D

Im currently sitting in a bar, on a ferry, on my way to Finland. That was a sentence I never thought I would hear myself say.. :) There is a Finnish band playing, and a drunk women dancing on the floor with an umbrella. She is very beautiful though, and has aquired herself a male partner to take over her umbrella.. :) today has been a great day. :) 
(and when i say bar, i mean it lightly. because i'm also currently playing peek-a-boo with a little boy. in this "bar". haha )

Great things of today:

When we climbed to the top of St. Isacks, there was a little boy on top of his dads shoulders, and when he passed me and janelle, he gave us the biggest little kid green in the whole world! and he kept looking at us as he passed.. he was sooo cute! :D  

As Jenny and I finished off our delicous ice cream we bought with Euro's, there was a little boy in an orange shirt that kept running around us playing "peek-a-boo". He was so cute. :)

listening to music videos from all over the world late at night by myself, on the "ferry." :)

listening to "can't help falling in love" while looking out the giant windows of the ferry in the comfy royal blue chairs. 

Jenny and I were on top of the deck after sunset, taking jump pics of each other in the freezing wind. and my brand new scarf flew right off my neck! I was sooo sad! haha, but then we turned the corner, and there it was! It some how, flipped the corner and got caught on some railing and was just patiently waiting for me to retrieve it. haha :) it was such a blessing!

The wind on top of the deck was incredible! we could just lean right into it, and it would hold us up! and every time i went to the very front, it would flip my skirt right up! We were being blown everywhere, but it was so much fun! :D

Finding a block of cheese called "kiri cheese." :) 


my desert at pizza hut! (yes, i said pizza hut, and it was sooo good!) it was a banana wrapped in a cooked tortilla with chocolate and cream on top. :) I dare say its the best thing I've had here so far. and I can't wait to try and make it at home!

drinking water by myself in the bar, typing this. :)

 haha and also i'm sitting right next to  a window where i can look down and see all the waves from the boat! its really pretty :)

I realized that I miss Sergey and Nikita today. Leaving them when I go back home is going to be so hard.. even thinking about it makes me want to cry already. i really love those crazy boys!

I realized even more so today, how blessed I am. and how apparent it is that God is everywhere. and always will be. Its really just up to us to notice Him. :) and trust me, once you do, it becomes almost impossible to become unhappy. :)

When we first got to the port, I saw this huge ship and my first thought was, "someones gotta brushen me up on the defintion of a ferry.." this thing is huge!!! its like a little taste of a cruiz. :D its been so fun!

and I plan on finishing up the night, talking to my loved ones. and eating pretzels with this incredible chocolate I bought yesterday in St. Petersburg. :D
