Ukraine Day 7


     A day of re-creation filled the day.  Jodi and Jane started by shopping for chili dinner that Jodi prepared to give Jane a break.  The ladies were dropped off to shop while the men started out with a visit to the Space Museum which was very interesting.  Those of you who remember Sputnik and the puppies of the Space Dogs being presented to JFK's wife by Kruchev would have appreciated it.  We spent a large sum of money to develop the ball point pen for space... the Soviets used a pencil.  

    Then we all met up at the 3 story mall to shop, followed by the Candy factory.  A creek / riverside picnic complete with hammocks, volleyball, and a little hiking followed.   We finally got a great picture of the entire Vasily and Jane family, and parents less Jane's father.  Truly a great day was had by all.  

      Home again for Jodi's Chili, fresh salad and Ice cream.  We will be glad when we can stop eating like feasting kings!  A virtual tour of the War Museum in Kiev, Ukraine followed which I recommend everyone view.  It is quite sobering. Here is the link http://www.warmuseum.kiev.ua/eng/main_exp.shtml We planned on visiting this museum in Kiev in person but it is closed on Mondays.  Thus the virtual tour.  We will probably tour the outside on Monday. 

Tomorrrow service in Komeny Brid, lunch and baptism.
