WW2
If heading to the WW2 museum in Minsk it is all photos of this sort of thing.. Can not get away from these pictures at all, they want to show how exactly it was during that time. This lady had three more picutres.. pretty much the whole procedings of how she died. Very passionate they are in Minsk about the WW2.

nothing like a run in with the KGB to get the heart pumping :) What a beautifully morbid place! I love it. As usual I am always on the end of my seat reading your blogs - if you don't end up publishing all these then I will for you :) You have a true gift with words and a magic eye with photos. You keep me entertained for hours, it is like being there with you guys hehe. I am so glad Diana is there withyou to keep you out of trouble hehe. Keep having a tonne of fun and I look forward to hearing about your next mischievous escapades! Love you to bits, Court ox

Great post. I loved Minsk... in the weird way that anyone could love a place that still has KGB in it...
