About four weeks ago, I got back from a five-week vacation in Eastern Europe, London, and France. I visited St. Petersburg in Russia, stayed for a week at a 14th-century castle in France, and along the way hit London, Gdansk, Talinn, Oslo, Stockholm, and Copenhagen. It's taken me quite a while to start posting about the trip, because I took about five thousand pictures while I was away, which I'm only just now getting 'round to processing and putting online. I have thirteen chapters of my travelogue posted in my blog so far, with about seventeen or eighteen more chapters (including the bit about that week in the 14th-century castle, which will probably contain some stories aimed at grownup audiences) to go. Note: Some of these entries contain *extremely* irreverent humor, snarky commentary about Vladimir Lenin and Lady Gaga, bad words, musings about Alexander the Great's personal problems, potatoes, and discussions about the military history of hats. You've been appropriately warned. Chapter 1Chapter 2: Life on the High SeasChapter 3: StockholmChapter 4: More Stockholm for Your SyndromeChapter 5: But If it's Made of Steel, How Do it Float?Chapter 6: In Soviet Russia, vacation has YOU!Chapter 7: My hat, it has three corners...Chapter 8: I thought hermits were solitary!Chapter 9: Wonders Never CeaseChapter 10: They're Creatures of the AbstractChapter 11: I have so many names...Chapter 12: Urban LifeChapter 13: Good taste? I've heard of that!As I do more, they'll be posted on http://tacit.livejournal.com -- enjoy!

Very interesting view of Saint-Petersburg. I don't quite agree with certain opinions, but overall it was great reading. I permitted myself to add some historical tips (under my LJ name, glazomer). Thanks, Franklin!
