Erica America

June 1999. I was counting days backwards to our flight, going downtown almost every evening and listening to this ultimate summertime album.

I remember this moment vividly:
Warm summer evening, me running by Palace of the Republic, turning behind the corner and here it is - city's new huge central square, filled with sunset light, this song playing in my headphones, and excitement filling every cell of my body. As if the whole world was smiling at me: the sun, the river, squares and parks, trees, buildings, buses, trams and cars - this whole city, giving me it's farewell cheers.

This is the Minsk that I'll always remember.
