Pushkin Palace

Last Saturday our program to an excursion to the Pushkin Palace. This is also known as the royal family's "Summer Palace" because its location is close to many lovely orchards, gardens and many gorgeous landscapes, however since it is still winter here, none of that was visible.

This is the palace courtyard....burried under snow
