Back from the deep freeze

Scott and I have just returned from five days in St. Petersburg. Fascinating. Amazing museums, churches and architecture. We splashed out on a spa hotel which had a nordic ice cave among other features....more soon once I've downloaded photos.

In the meantime, here I am enduring said ice cave for the specified 5 minute period before heading to my choice of hot sauna (courtesy of Scott's blackberry--yes, he had it with him in the spa.)
