Friday began with an optional tour of Yusupov Palace, where Rasputin was murdered in 1916. That event ultimately triggering the collapse of the Russian Empire. Adrianne and I took the opportunity to rest. We had decided long in advance that we needed to pace ourselves on this cruise. On Friday afternoon there was an included tour of The St. Petersburg Music Boarding School, which enjoys the support of the Grand Circle Foundation. Adrianne, being a teacher, couldn’t miss it, but I was still recovering from jet lag and skipped it, so I had the entire day off. Adrianne thoroughly enjoyed the music school and took lots and lots of pictures. Other passengers mentioned it as one of the highlights of the cruise. My cruise highlight came the next day.
