Scraps of Memories: USSR Trip

Just a sampling of the souvenirs and scrapbook entries from my high school trip to the Soviet Union. On the way back we had a one-night layover stop in Stockholm, so some of the later entries are in Swedish and not in Russian.

Highlights included Moscow, Red Square, Lenin's Tomb, The Bolshoi, Leningrad, Zagorsk, cemeteries, The Hermitage, the cultural delights of everyday things like the subways, Pepsi products, conversations on the toilet "paper" (i.e. sandpaper), then to Stockholm, McDonald's, etc.

Even after all these years, I still have my Russian Scarf and my nesting doll, as well as a few pins, not pictured here.

My apologies to Nicolai for not warning her that her high school self might show up in some of these pictures. Sorry Nic.
