L’vov for the day:)
I have made it to the city of L’vov, it’s not quiet the final destination on my trip but close enough. L’vov is one of the nicest places in all of Ukraine, and along with 6 other guys last night we conquered the 27 hour train ride to have the chance to walk on the cobble stone streets of the ancient city.
The train ride was actually quite pleasant. It provided some time for male bonding, which never hurts and just a chance to relax. And considering that the bed on the train is probably better than my bed at home, I slept very well, which speaks volumes about my quality of life (sleep). But!!!!!! But most important! We left fiber out of our diet for 27 hours and hence avoided certain death.
So back to L’vov… everything is green, the sun is shining and people are smiling. A stark contrast to what I left behind in East Ukraine. In about an hour I’m getting on a bus and heading to an even nicer part of Ukraine - the mountains. I would like to stay in L’vov a little longer but this is my second trip here already and I yet to make it out to the Carpathian Mountains.
Thats all for now<3<3<3
P.s. I’ll upload pics when I get a chance. The Internet cafe that I am sitting in doesn’t have a usb drive.
Hey Joseph,
Don’t think I forgot about your birthday. Happy
Birthday! It sounds like you are really going to miss Ukaraine, but I hope you know how much you have been missed down here in San Antonio. I like how you find the beauty in everything and describe each city with a unique manner. I really enjoy reading each and every one of your blogs. I hope that when you come back you can help kids like you have helped over there. Believe it or not there is so many kids that need a person like you in their lives. Please keep writing I enjoy hearing from you.
