McDonald's & The Mariinsky Theater

A meal at McDonald's and a ballet at the Mariinsky Theater - an evening of culture indeed!

The McDonald's in Russia was great. They have fried - not baked - cherry pies and kiwi McFlurrys! We went before the ballet, and the Russians gave us some weird looks because we were all dressed up.

The Mariinsky Theater - home of the world reknown Kirov Ballet Company - is absolutely beautiful. The ballets themselves were pretty entertaining. We saw three different ballets. The first was a traditional one and was pretty boring, but the second and third were more modern and thus quite entertaining.
