Wild guess: St. Peterburg. (Actually, I'm still looking for that big ship :wink: )

Quote:
St. Petersburg is located where the Neva River empties into the Gulf of Finland. While there are beaches here, they are not exactly the French Riviera...you are only a few hundred miles from the arctic circle. This port city is icebound every winter, and locals are used to the long cold season. Sunbathers in April along the Peter Paul Fortress find a warm stone wall, sheltered from the breeze...while ice on the Neva flows by. (Since Peterburg is so far north, days get so long in summer that 'white nights' are celebrated when it's light 24 hours a day. The sun may set at midnight, but it never gets very far below the horizon, so twilight remains bright even at 2 AM.)
Those Russians sure know how to have a good time! I don't think they scored too highly on the world happiness map.
Walter guessed right.

Francis is off guzzling beer somewhere because it makes a good diuretic:
Let's just wait for him.

I believe that's the Peter and Paul Fortress. There's an old boat sitting close by, but I don't remember tha name of it.
