Dear Elena Petrova, I wanted to compliment you on your very fine web site site! I happened to come across your site, because I received an unexpected response to my personals advertisement on the web from a Russian lady, and decided to try to find out more about Russian women and meeting them through the Internet. I must say, that in all of the sites I visited for information about this subject, yours is by far the most well written, informative and helpful. You have covered every important topic that I wanted to know about, and provided very interesting information about other topics I had not even thought of! As the owner of a small company myself, I think it is wonderful that you are able to provide such value to your customers, and (hopefully :-) still make a decent business for yourself in such a fine, ethical manner. The service and information you offer is truly valuable, and I hope that your business, like your marriage, will be richly blessed.

I love your website. It's definitely not of US concoction.
If you're here between the months of May and October it is well worth hopping on a boat and checking out the city from the water. Not only does it show you the city from one of it's most fortuitous angles, but it greatly decreases the chances of you getting run over by a tram while taking pictures.
River boats leave from the jetties in front of the Hermitage and in front of Senate Square. Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis from kassas at the locations, and price discrimination rules may apply. These large boats cruise slowly up and down the Neva, puddling along at a leisurely pace in order to sell more sandwiches and warm champagne.
A more scenic alternative is a canal tour. One way to do this is to go to the dock on the Fontanka River just north of Anichkov Bridge, pay your fare and get on a boat with all the other people. For a more personalized option, try the so-called water taxis. These are private boat owners who hang out by the Fontanka dock and also at a loading point on the Moika River just north of Nevsky Prospekt.
These water taxis are particularly enjoyable since you can cruise the smaller canals that the big tour boats can't manage as well as stop wherever you want along the way, which is handy if you run out of drinks. Cruising the Griboyedov and Kryukov canals and the Moika River is a great way to see St. Nicholas' Cathedral, the area around Teatralnaya Ploshchad, and New Holland. At night when the bridges are up you can sometimes get these water taxis to take you to any water-linked destination.
