On Tuesday, after classes, we decided to explore some stuff this side of the river. We were told that there was a memorial cemetary dedicated to the soldiers of the Second Seige during World War II (1941+). Although it took us awhile to get there, we made it. For the most part, it was wooded and had cement tombstone blocks with dates and names. Many of the trees had pictures tacked up with flowers also. The entire place was interesting, I didn't think it was well kept after, although it was solemn. We decided to cut through the woods to get back quicker... attack of the mosquitoes!! We start down a small path and the mosquitoes start to increase... soon we are deciding between turning back and continuing on but we feel it's better to keep going since we've gone so far (big mistake)... next thing you know we're swarmed and the guys with shorts have blood streaks down their legs... and yeah, we're running out of the woods waving our arms around like crazy Americans... next thing we're racing out and all the Russians who've been walking their dogs and sunbathing just watch us... do Americans get swarmed b/c they smell unlike BO? Hmm... interesting observation... I don't mean to be rude, but nobody wants 25 mosquito bites on them...
