Fall Break
This week the kids and I were on Fall Break. We headed to Western Ukraine on Saturday for a short visit to L'viv. L'viv is the western capital of Ukraine. It has a long history as part of Poland. It was very evident to us on this trip that L'viv is more European than any other city in Ukraine. We were amazed by the churches. The last time we visited L'viv was over 10 years ago and those churches were still closed. Now many are open and restored. Here are just a few of the 500+ photos I took. You can see more on my Picasa site. Enjoy
Statue of Ukrainian poet and hero, Taras Shevchenko. Behind him is a statue to the victims of the Holodymr in 1932-33
This mural is incredible. It is in the Armenian church. The church was used for storage during the Soviet times. Amazingly it survived.
