The next program sponsored excursion was to Pavlovsk, which despite being a REALLY cool place, I guess I just wasn't feeling it that day. So I present to you: WIKIPEDIA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlovsk_Palace
Read up. It's got some pretty cool history, all of which we learned on the tour. Picture permits were 70 rubles and I purchased one even though I have yet to actually be checked for one. I have a feeling you don't ACTUALLY need to buy one. Nevertheless, I took pictures of everything to the point of probably annoying the tour guide.
Cool story though: We took an elektrichka to Pavlovsk, that is to say a commuter train. This means the types of transportation I have taken in Russia now include:
Bus
Trolleybus
Metro
Marshrutka
Elektrichka
Boat
Cruise Ship
Hydrofoil
Airplane
I hear there are helicopter tours for rather cheap. Hmmmmm.
