Flying to Kiev,
over a sea of clouds. ( comments)
|
A famous church,
of some reknown. One of the few buildings that survived WWII, evidently. ( comments)
|
Part of a very interesting
park that is tiled over in a quasi-Gaudi style ( comments)
|
More churches.
This one had catacombs... ( comments)

..as well as being the center
of golden spires, apparently. ( comments)
|
Does this golden spire
make my ass look fat? ( comments)
|
Klavdia, my guide.

We head to a dark, bleak
WWII museum. ( comments)

|
Which is piping out
deathly Ukrainian/Russian war music. ( comments)
|
(Although they had this
70's style tanks) ( comments)
|
In the museum, a very Ford Model A
inspired war truck (though of Russian manufacture). ( comments)
|
The top of the museum,
is the only bit of light. ( comments)

Another church.
( comments)
|
They love their dead saints
in the Ukraine, they keep their mummified corpses in the churches and pray to them. Strange cult. ( comments)
|
The "Golden Gate" in Kiev,
is a gate. Except it has no wall. Doesn't seem like much of a defense when you can just walk around it. I think it should just be converted into a kids' playground. ( comments)
|
Near the main commerce street.

Anna's upper floor,
just for dancing. ( comments)
|
So we have a dance party
on my last night. ( comments)
