PDM In Lysychansk

Well, the first part of the day was the training and quickly I was trying to get home to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my valentine.

I arrived into Lysychansk this morning and it was foggy and a bit snowy.  I couldn’t resist taking a few photos.  It looks so peaceful and wintery.

   

This is Courtney.  She is a Peace Corps Volunteer who lives in Lysychansk, and offered up her apartment and breakfast for some downtime after my early AM bus ride and before the training.  And I was thrilled to find that she has an adorable kitty.

   

This is such a great group of city officials to teach and work with.  They are always so fun and eager for the learning of new skills.  I love it!

  

I will pretty much turn any room into a learning environment.  No screen and the painting removed…and suddenly I have a blank wall for projection.

Yuri is not big into Valentine’s Day, but he is great about feeding my needs.  So balloons and girlie gifts soon invaded mu apartment.  I am not sure how I got so lucky, but some days I feel so blessed to have found such a great guy.  Oh, there are days that are not so fun, but sometimes he just gets it.  Thanks honey, I love you!
