My Philly roommate, Samantha, and I on the flight to Frankfurt
Fancy bread and salt as part of the welcoming at Desna, the retreat center where we spent our in-country orientation

Desna, the river
The park center in downtown Chernihiv

What would you order? Pizza!

Another beautiful park
Pastries galore!
Hey, Melissa! Miss you already. Just been listening to/reading Found Beats...am loving the glimpse behind the curtain. What an experience for you--allowing organic unfolding instead of being able to fully prepare?! When you come back, you will be capable of anything...aJason Bourne and superwoman and Ferlenghetti rolled into one...
ReplyDeletehey melissa!
ReplyDeletethis blog was such an excellent idea for us to keep up with you! It sounds like you've 'landed,' and your first week and a half are pretty swell!
am thinking of you, your safety, adventures... and how we miss you at writing group... but don't worry, I will have a pumpkin spice latte in your honor tomorrow (do you even like those?) : )
