St. Petersburg Bridges
One thing that St. Petersburg is famous for is its bridges. There are around 400 bridges in the city. It’s one of the reasons St. Petersburg is called the Venice of the North since there are so many waterways in town. One of the favorite past times of tourist is to come out at night and watch the bridges go up. This is to let barge traffic through at night.
Ramona and I decided to rollerblade down to the water and take part in this event. It was Ramona’s first time to do this. We had a blast and would love to do it again next summer. It’s fun just to watch and see the people who come out for this event.
