Pictures of Kiev + some extras!

As promised! Not all of them because it takes so long to upload and as you'll see when you scroll down I had some formatting troubles that I could not fix. But, enjoy none-the-less!
Found  bit of DC in Kiev

Kiev


Don't know why some of these are upside down but it took me way too long to even just get them uploaded so ya'll will have to deal 






I don't know her name but I do know that she could kick Lady Liberty's ass any day.
She is part of the museum of the "great patriotic war" or WWII as us Westerners know it.
We weren't able to go into the museum though because unfortunately it is closed on Mondays. 

We did go to a huge monastery and saw some caves that contained dead saints. Apparently it's a thing to show off said saints' hands. 
View from Bell tower. The church in the back ground was gorgeous! 

Inside the bell tower of Sofiisky Sobor

Group mug shot!


The lady in the middle was a badass queen who united Ukraine. 



My first day of teaching!

Our class kitten

Movie night! We watched Red

Some statue of a bard who traveled Ukraine and organized a sort of militia 

Surprise holodets! (Meat jelly) Not so bad really if you spread it on a piece of bread

Liberty square

I swear these guys almost pick-pocketed us. 

Statue! 

Another statue!
