April 19th
The other day we realized we had never seen a
fire truck while being in Russia. That
is not necessarily a bad thing because that means no fires, but as soon as we
realized we had never seen one the next day one went past the office. I didn’t have the camera ready in time, but
today as we pulled into the office parking lot we heard sirens and Lewis said
here comes more fire trucks, so I got out of the car quick and took a
picture. Then another one came by, took
another picture. Then we saw two police
cars and three more fire trucks, I wish I had the video camera running, but I
didn’t. So here is proof that fire
trucks exist in Russia.
Later this day we did our weekly food
shopping. While waiting in line at the
checkout we saw these HUGE Chupa suckers.
I think that a picture of them has been submitted before, but this time
there is a story that goes along with the picture. Lewis picked up the sucker and asked if we
had taken a picture of it before for the blog, I said I think so but not
sure. So he said we will take one just
in case and he acts like he is going to lick it and I take a picture. Then one of the security people that roam
around the store came up to us speaking Russian of course and we couldn’t
understand what she was saying, but we figured out that she didn’t want
pictures taken in the store. Not sure
why, but it made for a good blog story anyway.
We got chewed out for something and have no idea what was said!!
