I awoke this cool and crisp morning in Minsk to watch the sun rise while in my room — specifically over the central train station building in the center of the photograph and what are known as the City Gates on the left.
Sunrise Over Minsk
After arriving in Minsk, I walked all over this beautiful city until after the sun set. The weather was still chilly; but for the first time on my trip, I did not encounter snow falling or windy conditions. Spring is finally arriving to this part of the world.
The hotel property at which I am currently staying is the Hampton by Hilton Minsk City Centre. I intend to have a review of this hotel property in a future article, as this is the first hotel property under the Hampton brand at which I have stayed outside of North America — and there are some differences between the experiences on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Summary
The photograph at the top of this article was not shot with my good camera. I will post better photographs in a different article after I return to the United States; but I wanted to share the sunrise over Minsk with you as soon as possible.
For now, however, I am off to breakfast…
