WW2 museum

This is Alicia and I in front of one of the bas relief statues at the WW2 museum here in Kiev. Impressive it was! We didn't take pictures inside, you'll have to come visit us and we'll take you there. The stakes were high and many battles were fought on Ukrainian soil-- millions of lives were lost. They have memorialized honorably.

After our museum trip we were invited to the home of Ann Marie, Alan, and Emily. Here I am when dinner is served, Alicia with photo credits.

Here's our group. We were all touristy Americans and we didn't care who knew. We may have been the only people in Kiev who had a picnic in the rain.
Alan, Calyn, Emily, Alicia, Lori, Callie, Harmony, AnnMarie, Jenny, Brett with photo credit.

Here's the silver lady whose image watches over Kiev. She's really big, there's nothing in the picture to give perspective, but let's just say if she and the Statue of Liberty got into a fight, she would probably win. (because of choice of weapons, of course)

Here's me and Leesh in front of the pretty leaves, bound to fall soon.
