St Petersburg

Well, the plan was to head back to Moscow today, St Petersburg in the AM shoot the semifinal match on the 10th and return on a 7 AM flight to shoot the next semi-final in Moscow.  My trip to Nizhny Novgorod has demonstrated to me what a folly this is.  Four hour train ride, 9 PM match, back to the hotel at 2 or 3 AM having to leave for the airport at 5:30 AM.  It would be stupid.  So as much as I would like to visit St Pete, it will have to be for another time.
