The USSR Rouble I smuggled out in 1970. In those days if you had any left over Russian money you had to hand it over to Customs when you left the country, I wasn't going to do that, I hid it in my shoe 😉

Photo a Day Challenge - 26.9.2018 - Kind Act.
1970 - arriving in San Francisco for a four month stay and with only $US18 to our name in the hope that David's Uncle Keith and Aunt Virginia, who told us we had to visit them on our way home after our trip from England through Russia and Siberia... would find us jobs was very quickly dashed when Keith said no Visa no Jobs!
But he then took us to his bank... and his act of kindness meant we were able to buy a second hand station wagon and spend most of those four months camping through California, Oregon, Washington into Canada then East to Medicine Hat, South through Montana, Yellowstone National Park, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Tucson and into Baj California, then north to Disneyland, Los Angeles and back to Carmel.
Forever thankful to Keith and Virginia for this seriously 'kind act'.

Nerys and Tomos enjoying lots of fun with our first sheep Suzy, bought at the Goulburn Sale Yards back in 1974 on our way back home from our four month adventure of touring around the southern coast of NSW, Victoria and South Australia. Suzy was very content being tied to the back platform of the Big Green Double Decker on that journey from Goulburn to Sydney.
