January 6, 2020 – From Russia with Love! with Doris Coghill
Doris Coghill along with 3 other current (Karla Larson, Jan Carlson) and former (Ardie Anderson) UMBS members went on the St Petersburg, Russia Beadventure trip in September 2019. Doris was not leading this trip, but several others that have been on her previous trips to the Czech Republic also attended so it was a family affair! St. Petersburg is unlike most of the older cities in Europe in that it just celebrated its’ 300th birthday. Peter the Great decided he liked this spot on the Gulf of Finland and had many canals dug so that it resembles Amsterdam. It was under siege by the Nazis for 900+ days during WWII and was basically looted and destroyed during that time. The city has done an amazing job in the last 70 years restoring the cathedrals, palaces and museums to their “gilded age” glory. The city is known for its mosaics with entire buildings (both inside and out) covered in beautiful mosaic pictures. The country is known for its amber and these two are combined in The Amber Room at one of the palaces. Come and experience the glory of this great city through pictures!
