I've been tagged

This is a fun little photo tag from Katie at Parental Supervision. The rule is that you pick the fourth photo from the fourth file in your pictures and tell the story. Then you tag four people. Here is my photo:



This is from my three-month Study Abroad in St. Petersburg, Russia two years ago. The sign on the wall says: "Attention! During an airstrike this side of the street is more dangerous!" The plaque underneath says: "In memory of the heroism and courage of the Leningradians during the 900-day blockade of the city, this inscription was preserved."

First of all, I am impressed that I was able to read and translate that after not studying Russian for two years! Second, I think that is a kind of funny sign. Of course, the 900-day seige of St. Petersburg was definitely not amusing, but the sign is a bit quirky.

Good memories! I got to look at a lot of my pictures from Russia. Here's a really funny one:
The plaque says something like, "In memory of the female parachuter who fell here." Don't take it too seriously. Just look at the tree closely and you'll get it. :]

If you want to be tagged, do it! But for my four offical tags, I tag Natasha, Jolena, Elise, and Shalyse. Oh, and Adam. I tag my husband Adam.
