I thought I would start an occasional series of my favorite things. I am starting with our Soviet map. During the winter break our senior year in college, Dave, along with several of our friends went on a school trip to the Soviet Union. This was 1988/1989, mere months before the break up of the Soviet Union. One of the great souvenirs he picked up was this Soviet map. It was obsolete in probably a year and to us, it is a reminder of growing up during the "cold war". I still remember having safety drills in elementary school where we had to hide under our desks. Like that was going to protect us from a Soviet nuclear missile. But I think I love the map now because you can't buy another one like it unless perhaps you were in a Russian antiquities shop in Moscow.
