Mallory and I had three days off of teaching, so on Wednesday (May 2nd) we spent the day at Khreshatyk, the city center. We walked around a lot, got lunch, and did a lot people watching. It was a very nice, easy going day. And like always, we saw some interesting things there!
 |
| A very nice park (compared to all others we've seen) where we hung out for a little while |
 |
| This is definitely the nicest part of Kyiv! |
 |
| Designer stores . . . |
 |
| This does not give an accurate picture of what Ukraine is like |
 |
| This is Maidan Nezolezhnosti, which means Independence Square |
 |
| St. Michael's Cathedral (not really Khreshatyk anymore) |
 |
| Outside of St. Michael's |
 |
| Also outside of St. Michael's |
 |
| Back at Maidan Nezolezhnosti |
 |
| This man is playing a bandura - the national instrument of Ukraine |
 |
| Another bandura player |
We also saw these break dancers . . . They really cracked me up because I think the US and Ukraine must have very different standard on what good break dancing looks like! In the beginning it was just sad, but after a while they got a little bit better.
