It is hard to make your very first step. I do not remember my first word, my first step, but I do remember how hard it was to write my first letter, to solve my first math problem, to decide what college to go to... what to cook for dinner... You got to make that first step to move forward. And... here it is...my first blog. 01/11/11

A picture is worth a thousand words!
Wordless Wednesday, Hmmmm... I like it. It is right up to my alley!
Please tell me what do you think I captured in those pics. Do not spend too much time, just give me your best guess.
One day last week I was reorganizing my closet and found this little book. It is 3” by 4” in size. It was published in 1987. The title of this little book is “Minsk, City Plan”. Minsk, Belarus is where I was born. As I was flipping pages, it brought all kinds of memories back. We left Minsk on June 20 of 1989 and arrived to the US on August 17, 1989. The Soviet Union government allowed us to take $140 per person. Yep! They expected us to survive on $140 per person for two months. Unbelievable!
my guess is that you are going on vacation to a foreign country. (Maybe one that speaks hebrew?)
ReplyDeleteI am completely clueless! Are you going to post the answer?

ReplyDeleteGreat wordless wednesday! I think it is Minsk City, Belarus...
ReplyDeleteTravel plans? Looks like a subway map on one of the pages. The writing looks Russian to me.
