I am glad you got to spend a few days in Kharkov, that city holds a special place in my heart :-) <BR/><BR/>I forgot to tell you about something else to see in Kiev while you are there. It is a statue called "Rodina Mot" which means "Mother, Motherland" it is simular to the statue of Liberty, but WAY bigger and standing on top of a hill overlooking the river that runs through Kiev. It is a silver color and looks so majestic towering over everything around it, I promise you have never seen anything like it! It was erected after the 2nd world war which is a little sad because it stands for liberty which the Ukrainians definatly did not have under Stalin! (tragic history) <BR/><BR/>So many things that you have written about bring back memories just like it was yesturday, the crazy drivers, the open markets, the sweet people. I feel like I am reliving it through you!<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!<BR/>Love TamiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297958616357186681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-680540413064562846.post-26159553481553729822007-09-15T02:55:00.000-06:002007-09-15T02:55:00.000-06:00It is great to see your photos and know that you w...It is great to see your photos and know that you will be home soon.
