The weather changed again from the sunny weekend temps in the mid 50's back to cold and rainy...we also had to set our watches ahead over the weekend for their daylight savings time. We are now another hour ahead of the U.S. (see chart below for those playing at home)
10 hours ahead of Disneyland
8 hours ahead of Lantana
7 hours ahead of St. Mary's Hospital
We continue to email and update our Facebooks....we are so glad we bought this mini-notebook...it has really kept us in touch with the rest of the world.
Here are some more photos:
St. Sophia Cathedral.....built in the 11th century
Us in front of St. Michael's Catherdal of the Golden Domes. Orginally built in the 12th Century...destroyed by the Bolsheviks....rebuilt in 2000. There is also a nearby monument dedicated to the great famine, also caused by the Bolsheviks. Our translator told us her Grandmother vividly remembers haveing to eat spoiled food to survive. The Bolsheviks burned crops and did their best to be sure nothing would grow here for a long time. A very sad and painful period of Ukraine history.

Bolsheviks, let's see, that would be Marxists or perhaps Leftists, right?
