In between morning language lessons, Mike preparing for and leading the evening conversational English class, we escaped Uzhhorod for a few hours!
Our friend, Valya, invited us to go to the woods. It was amazing. It was 20 degrees cooler than the city. Seriously. Not to mention beautiful!
You know how in 'Lord of the Rings' (the best novel ever written by man), the elves are always like- "the sea... the sea... (sigh), it calls me"; well that is how the Ukrainians are about the woods- "the woods... the woods... (sigh), i must go to the woods". Well, now I know why.
So when it is 93.7 degrees Fahrenheit in our apartment on a blazing Thursday afternoon, I will dream about going to the woods.

| Yes, the 3rd picture of everyones back- except Solomiya! |
