My life of adventures did not end when we came home from Ukraine. I had good intentions of keeping up my blog and memories of Ukraine and then the revolution started and I was so sad to see what was happening in my favorite city. I just couldn't bear to post pictures of what was no longer.
Well, today my daughter in law encouraged me to start writing about my new adventures and including some old great memories. So this is where I begin.
It was about two years ago that I started this blog. Excitement was in the air with the thoughts of leaving Idaho and venturing so far away not knowing exactly what our lives would be like for the next while. Leaving a city of 50,000 where we were well known by a good percentage of those people to a city of 4,000,000 where hardly anyone knew us and we didn't even speak the language was fraught with opportunities.
I love people. Watching people, meeting people, and being where the action is. I am also perfectly content adventuring out on my own. This was indeed the opportunity of a lifetime. And now that we are back in Idaho we have so many wonderful memories and are happily making more memories to last a lifetime. But for some reason our hearts our still with the people we love in Ukraine. A little over a month after we returned to the USA the revolution started in Kyiv. On December 5th I posted before and after pictures but that was when the uprising was basically a peaceful protest. We had no idea it would escalate into what it happening this week but once again I want to post some before and after pictures just for history sake. I have chosen some of my favorite and most frequented locations in the heart of Kyiv just minutes away from where we lived.
