| A group of young soldiers crossing Constitution Square |
Instead of lots of words, here are snapshots from the past several weeks.
THE CITY-
 |
| "Metalist Union 1921" |
 |
| "Glory to the War Heroes, 1941 - 1945" |
 |
| Found in a parking lot |
 |
| Hopefully the first of many more beautiful Kharkov sunsets to come! |
 |
| Empty playground, waiting for warmer weather |
 |
| This political ad reads "I want Ukraine to be known and respected around the entire world!" |
 |
| The promo says "Drink juice daily!"... but the shelves are filled with laundry detergent. |
 |
| Approaching the monument to the Cossack Kharko in my friend's car- the first time I've been in a car this year!!! |
 |
| Another empty playground, waiting for children |
 |
| Cheerful playground art |
WORK-
 |
| Quiet afternoon, before the lesson started |
 |
| Surprise class party!!! |
 |
| Power outage = teaching by candlelight |
 |
| A gorgeous gift from students- painting of downtown Kharkov in the rain. This is definitely getting checked in our luggage someday! |
 |
| Last day of work celebration, complete with sparkling wine and bacon-flavored potato chips |

ReplyDeleteThank you, Andrea!
DeleteThis pictures made me cry, especially the ones with the cat. I had a dear cat that looked just like that. Here we are back from vacation and I hope this sun comes back. I even through out my last yak track. Are you as snowed in as we are?
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. Makes me miss the old Ukraine. It's a lot different now. More modern. I first lived in Ukraine in 2014 and it was a whole different world.
