The weekend has arrived. The inner streets are barricaded for what appears as a large block party. People flood the streets and gather in the parks and marketplace squares for conversation and festivities. The younger generation gather around the square for a cold beer, a smoke and some past-time conversation. The older crowd meets in the parks to compete at a massive chess tournament- might I add these guys take their game seriously. They have the counters for timing how long it takes to move the piece on the board.
Evening quickly comes as we walk down the sidewalk, the skyline of the massive buildings swallow us. It reminds us of New York City minus the hurried pace. The city is beautiful and the people are proud of their rich history. The significant Ukrainian leaders of old are embronzed and located throughout the city on every corner. Each monument tells a story of the significance of the statue despite Vicki and I 's inability to interpret Cryllic.
We've added some pics as we wait on Tuesday to come. Day 6 comes to an end.

Staci and I had another great day with you guys. You guys are so fun to be around! It really helps that weare both going through this adventure together. Maybe we can find Rodney some eggs and have breakfast for dinner one night. I am ready for a little southern cooking, Ukrainian style! I hope that we can do it again tomorrow.
