The last outing we took, we went to go see another beautiful church and along the way we saw some other interesting buildings and monuments.

Statue of Lenin

This was not photo-shopped, this building was that bright orange in person

St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral



Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev

Monument to Taras Shevchenko

Pretty flowers surrounding the last monument pictured


We found a really big playground, the girls had a blast playing



Sitting with the babushka before going back to the apartment.
Please be thinking of us as we leave Kiev soon and make our journey out to Siberia. Our next post will be coming to you from the ends of the earth.

Hello sweetness! I love your silly smile.

Longing for warmer weather and some sun


There’s one of my little rays of sunshine!

There’s another one! Ok winter weather, I can handle you a little longer.
