I had a free Saturday for the first time in a month. I could've stayed home, but I didn't. I went to the Ukraine and spent the weekend in Kiev. Some random photos...
 |
| Kiev is having a serious love affair with coffee (and donuts and sushi). Nearly every corner seems to have either a kiosk selling coffee or a van with an espresso machine installed in the back. |
 |
| The Saint Sophia Cathedral has two important things going for it: once you've paid to get into the grounds, the toilet is free to use (most places charge 2 hryvnia/25 cents) and there's an amazing mosaic on the second floor of the church that's made from over 15,000 hand-painted Easter eggs. |
 |
| The approach to Saint Michael's Monastery is the only place where I was harassed all weekend. For the most part, I was left to my own devices. |
 |
| Sister's Dress Gallery was an absolute find. Tucked into a corner of Pushkinska Street, I accidentally happened into it and walked out with a lovely blue dress that I can't wait to wear. |
