Full day in Kyiv

This is dad talking.....Monday was our sight-seeing day here in Kyiv - we must have logged at least 10 miles (my back would argue it was closer to 20!  This city is beautiful and I again got a kick out of watching how Jamie acts more like a native than a tourist - proud of my boy!  We saw a 1300 year old monestary, a memorial to the 13 million who died of starvation under Stalin, and a war memorial (that's "Big Momma" or Mother Ukraine that Jamie is standing in front of.  Evidently, a Ukrainian president a while back decided to cut off the tip of the sword because it was higher than any other buildings in Kyiv... brilliant!  Jamie is off with Alena and a few missionaries tonight for Home Evening.  I decided to give the back a rest here at the hotel.  Love to all.
