The Hermitage

Yesterday, we went to the Hermitage Museum.

Princess Lucy on the Staircase...

Imagine having a ceiling like that!!!

In the hall where the famous Peacock Clock sits. SO BEAUTIFUL!

SO much artwork... even the ceilings are artwork!

Knights. Real suits of armour atop stuffed horses.

More beautiful rooms... and of course. The amazing floor...

Rembrandt's The Return of the Prodigal Son... My favourite painting of all time... Well, that's all I have time for now! I will note that I have found a great dance school that I am dancing at twice per week. I might add in a third day on some free weekends. The teacher is great and even though all the students are at slightly different levels, he works with you so that everyone is dead at the end. :D
