I was last there in the fall of 2005 and went on a day trip to Vitebsk one day with my mother in law (who grew up there and left as a young woman ahead of the German army when it came through headed towards Moscow) and her son and also my stepson. I still regret not having taken a photo from the tower at the old city hall/museum. There are a lot of architecture sites and other scenic sites there in and around Vitebsk - a very old city. It was once the most important city in Belarus as you know very well. Hope to go back to Vitebsk some day to spend more time.
