Today Mary (my librarian colleague), Kelly (her husband and IT coordinator extraordinaire)
and I met up with a wonderful librarian named Julia. She works at the Graduate School of Management with St. Petersburg University.

We walked all over the city, visiting the
Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library, St. Isaac's Cathedral, and St. Petersburg University.

We ended the day with dinner at a very hip Asian restaurant called
Two Chopsticks. While it wasn't the traditional Russian food I was hoping to start my trip with, it was a place I would never have been able to find myself. The most impressive part was the menu. It was made to look like an art book with beautiful images for every dish (Julia said that most restaurants in St. Petersburg have menus like this). I had a tasty bowl of spicy noodle soup.
