We are back in Kyiv. November is upon us and I had all these plans of exercising and studying Russian everyday.
Well, a sore throat took hold and even sent me home early from work on Friday. My herbal specialist is making sure I take my South African and Israeli elixirs... So today, we took a break from our incredibly warm apartment, and I mean it gets pretty toasty in here!, out into the world for some fresh air and 30F degree temperatures. The sun sets at 4:29pm these days, so daylight is scarce! Our neighborhood, Podil, was having a special kind of Farmers' Market. It was great to see all the people out on such a
cold day buying and selling "salo" (a Ukrainian delicacy of pig fat - I tried it in Odessa - even with garlic on top... not my cup of vodka), other
meats, sausages, and stuffed animals. Oh, and mustn't forget the
fur coats. By the way, my ankle-length leather coat I got secondhand at "Double Take" in Santa Fe is coming in really handy. Well, based on my low energy and need to go eat dinner (these pictures make me
hungry!), I'll leave you with my photojournalism.
