We just got back from lunch and some sightseeing.....it is around 40 degrees, but feels like 30 with the wind. Kiev has a lot of history and cool sights. We saw an old KGB building from the "Russia days." There are several very old and beautiful churches and monestaries...we hope to visit them during our stay.
As for lunch. They took us to an authentic Ukrainian restaurant. The food was all very fresh and delicious....we had chicken kabobs, mashed potatoes, three differents kinds of bread, some fresh veggies and some dishes we cannot pronounce or explain what they are...but they were good...LOL
We may get some snow tonight so our outdoor adventures will be a little different....it may be time to bust out the thermals!
Talk to you later...
Richard & Lisa
Lisa - April 6th - The food here is wonderful, everything tastes homemade and is very fresh. I have had chicken Kiev at 5 different cafe's now and they have all been wonderful, I could happily eat it every day. The borscht is very good as well, it is served warm and is very similar to vegetable soup. We have passed on a Ukraine speciality here called "sala" which is essentially kind of flavored fat from a pig that is used like butter on bread. I know it sounds weird, but it is not that bad, just a little odd for our tastes. But everyone here keeps telling us it is very good for you. Did Richard mention about his slamming a shot of Vodka?????

I'm excited! I can't wait to hear how Monday goes. I hope you're taking lots of pictures around town.
We're following your journey with love and nostalgia!
I'm laughing at you for 2 reasons: 1) for not telling me the Homer clock talks and 2) for the mints on the pillows. Too cute!
Thanks for the updates! WE will be praying for you on Monday. Enjoy the beautiful sights of Kiev!
blesssings,
Laura and Ray
