The five weeks Tony spent in Slavutich was quite an adventure. He had stories of his Dr. appointments that ranged from an EKG (which was more like jumper cables attached to him) to misscommunications that made Tony nearly take his pants down and they only wanted him to roll his pant legs up!
Tony toured many historical sites in Chernigov, St. Catherine's Cathedral, the monestary, the catacoms and much more, in total it was easily 12 miles of hiking on a very hot day, nice though with your own personal tour guide. The day ended with a very large traditional Ukrainian meal which included borscht (very good) and pork fat on bread (not so good). Then he took the 50 minute train ride and a 20 minute walk home for a very good nights sleep.
He is learning Russian, shopping around town, meeting wonderful neighbors, and enjoying great food!
So glad to catch up with you here! We sure missed you last night at Mel's house but the cottage looks cute and the travels sound fun. I can't wait to hear about you and the girls and the adjustments you are all making!
