Tour of private Yusopov castle were we felt chilled
To see how they believe Rasputin was killed

But there is no proof
If the body was moved thru the cellar or via the roof.

Many people were involved
But the mystery remains unresolved

People involved remained silent
Like in all other atrocities that were violent

St Isaac’s Cathedral with Colom’s of Lapis Lazuli
Was breathtaking to see.

Lunch in a local crowded place
That could barely accommodate us due to lack of space.

We visited the red October gift shop.
We’re on our visit in 2005 we also had made a stop.

Prices were not cheap
But I bought a few trinkets to give and keep

Traffic again was stop and go
And more then one car was behind another in tow

The bus driver made a U turn in the middle of the street.
While we all hoped to again get out of this seat.

But it seemed the norm
For every driver to move in free form.
