We had a holiday for May Day and we took advantage
by doing some local sightseeing. Marina
and Gena took us to the city of Nyezhen and Kuchanovka: Nyezhen is where Marina
went to University to become an English teacher and the village of Kuchanovka
has an old “palace” originally built in the late 16th century by
two brothers. It was a long day of
traveling, but it was a very interesting to see another part of Ukraine. Really it wasn’t much different then what we
see locally in Slavutich and Chernigov, but it was a fun adventure. |

It was a one day trip and we spent the
next two nights out at Marina’s dacha – where she continued to spoil us cooking
us meals and not letting us do much “work”.
We spent our time basking in the sun reading books and watching the
children play in the mud and have their toes nibbled on by Gena’s little fish
in the pond. The girls also, did some
fishing, Ry caught her very first fish “all by herself” she cast the line,
watched the bobber, pulled on the pole and then brought the fish to shore, Gena
then unhooked the fish and Ry took it over to the bucket, for safe keeping….she
wasn’t too thrilled when Gena released all the fish, I think she was hoping to
clean and cook one. The girls also
collected frogs…we should have told them to kiss one and see if it turned into
a prince =)
