Travel Outfit Spokane-Seattle-Amsterdam-Minsk
A great get-up for a good trip back to Minsk. We have arrived safely back in Minsk for our 3rd year of international teaching. We love this city and its amazing people and we really like our school and its caring staff.
Yesterday we explored some new areas of Minsk with Julia and Viki and snapped pictures of some great Soviet-era murals. I find this art style fascinating. We took an elevator to the top of the Belarus National Library for views of the city. There are not many high rise buildings as most pre-2000 buildings followed a maximum 8-story plan. Some newer buildings are 20ish-stories tall. Landmarks in this remarkably flat terrain tend to be smokestacks, radio antennae, and garbage dumps (2 distinctive mounds to the east and west of the city).
I have also included photos of our new apartment building. We love our new apartment! Great location and character.
