Today the group had our final class discussion on the book we have been reading, Crime and Punishment. We went through individual chapters and talked about the main themes in the novel and how they connect to our experience so far in Saint Petersburg. We finished off the discussion with a debate on whether the main character, Raskolnikov, was sane or insane.  It was a lively debate and was a fitting way to complete our study of the novel. The debate also prepared us for the tour we will take tomorrow where we will trace the actual steps Raskolnikov took throughout the book.
    A boat tour was planned for the evening, but it ended up getting cancelled because of the high water level of the Neva River. It's been a little rainy and cold the past couple days, but we are hoping for some nice weather before we leave so we can reschedule the boat tour.
