We took our first trip outside of Kyiv this past weekend. We were on a trip sponsored by the Community Liaison Office (in charge of the general morale and welfare of embassy employees and their families.)

I was going to write a long-winded and probably boring recap of our adventures, but, luckily for me, my better half created something much better and with pictures. Check it out here. However, if you’re too lazy to go there, I can sum up the entire trip in three magical words: Tony Frickin’ Danza.
