Yup, today was a free day, which meant it was time for something new. Wahoo!! I am always up for a bit of exploring and adventure. So, Sara, Masha, Mike, Blakely and I headed northeast to Novhorod-Siversky. It was incredible.
The bus ride was about three and a half hours each direction. And a bit tight in the seats, but so relaxing. On goes the iPod and I am ready for a three hour drive in the countryside of Ukraine. So wonderful. We were also blessed to hook-up with a current Peace Corps volunteer, Patrick, who lives there and get a tour of the city. Thanks Patrick, it was a great day!
