picture post 30 january

now the show to accompany the tell—

- shchedrivky, pre-departure
- Christmas tree in the Kyiv train station, both big!
- who isn’t excited to stay in a hostel!? I know Laura Ruth and Graciela are!
- the shape of that logo looks strangely familiar…
- eat the fork!
- a milkshake with no ice cream… not exactly what I had in mind
- snow, yes, snow
- Shevshenko inspires thoughtfulness
- and this university! warning: color in the picture is exactly correct
- one of the features of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Cafe
- available in two delicious languages
- it’s in Cyrillic, so you know it’s not a sign in honor of Tupak, but if you thought that at first, it’s okay
- “I knew right away that it was Ukrainian art when I saw the zebras,” said Laura.
- so there was this story about oranges—how many oranges?
- opera house, varied directions
- discounted babies, a mural, and ticket sales
- did you know that kyiv is the dragon capital?
- coolcool
- McUkraine
- another big church!
- big Catholic church in Lutsk, Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, featuring Ellen, Ali, and Tony
- inside
- the castle gate [insert random Princess Bride reference here]
- yes, there’s a giant chess set, but you’ll have to get past the cannons first
- book museum!
- takin’ the high road
- view from the fourteenth century
- collaboration, makes it happen! collaboration: working together! oh, I think that was cooperation… sorry, sesame street
- inside the school in Rokini, a small town thirty minutes from Lutsk
- all of the energy in the universe somehow flows through this exact spot
- walking back to the highway, you can see Rokini’s sort of far out there
- but it has this rockin’ bus stop
- YMCA holiday show—everybody wants to be a cowboy, baby
- modern dance [hopefully I’ll be able to upload some video clips so you can appreciate this a little more fully]
- the end
- the library where film club meets
- here, in the Window on America room, where no one ever eats cookies, especially not Jonathan
