There was a fire close by so firetrucks were already here. Haha. Everyone else came pretty fast, though!
Read about it here:
Szent Vér Temploma (Szentpétervár, Oroszország) / Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Saint Petersburg, Russia)
Not the best photo I took on this shoot by far, but it needs to be included. We had difficulty finding the place which you get into via a lovely place called Bartram Gardens. When I found it and it was huge, and wonderful, and waiting, I had to shoot it from a distance. Just consider it a preview for the real stuff ;-)

yum yum

After my flat I was a little bit chilly. Not terribly so, I wasn't in danger, but I'd been on the road for 11 hours. I was tired and cold and wet and tired of being cold and wet and tired. So, near dusk, when I came across a full-service NPS potty, I went into the men's room hoping for all hope that I'd find a tree-saving hand dryer. Or at least some water.
I was stunned with glee to find one, only to be shattered to find it broken. Crushed, I huddled in the men's room for 10 minutes, gathering courage to move.
As I saddled up I noticed the women's room. And, glory glory! a working hand dryer. Thankfully no ladies wandered in as I was drying everything. (Yes, everything).
Actually, it didn't help much, but I needed the mental lift of something at least appearing to go my way.
I would eventually spend Thursday night in Raphine, right off I-81. I started the day at 6:30 a.m. and rolled into Rapine at 9:30 p.m.
a stout fishing boat came along and offered us a tow back to Steveston. Thank you thank you thank you! Jeremy offered them money but they refused. Apparently if you don't bring up the issue of money (in exchange for a tow) the person who tows you can put a salvage claim on your boat and attempt to take it as their own. uhhhhh no
Jeremy had a called a marine towing company to get a quote...over $600 for a tow and god knows how long it would take for them to get to us. You're far better off flagging down a boat headed in your direction and asking for a tow. The Linda Tracey is the best! Boaters tend to take care of one another.
Without Katie, our noble driver, we would have been, um, sleeping in a closet? Locked in a trunk? Who knows, but Katie got us safely to and from the wedding, and was a snappy dresser and a sharp tongue at no extra charge. Thanks, Katie!
