The kids had a great time keeping on the lookout for these during our recent Moscow trip.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992203896914180674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-14726686624488505882009-04-29T14:47:00.000+03:002009-04-29T14:47:00.000+03:00The locks exist here in Riga as well.

Locks and chains started appearing around a lamppost on the Ponte Milvio, to the extent that the lamppost almost collapsed and the authorities had to provide an alternative place for them. The church by the Trevi fountain has now become popular for the romantic love locks, the keys being thrown into the fountain. As fast as the authorities try to remove them, new ones appear in their place."<br /><br />Maybe one of your readers could direct us to the film?<br /><br />Anyhow it looks like a lovely park and it is wonderful that spring has finally come to Russia! Hooray! <br /><br />This was fun to read! Thanks! xovvalentinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594647719641535734noreply@blogger.com
