Fun in Kiev







Kiev is a beautiful city and a fun place to explore. Now that we are done wilth all the miserable stuff we have been having a lot of fun. We took Misha swimming at their downtown beaches, but got a little freaked out when all our swimming clothes turned a vibrant green. A little remnant from Cherynobyl?? We've had a few people tell us we were crazy to swim there. We also enjoyed the Kiev zoo. We saw a few varieties of birds and animals that we hadn't seen before. The funny looking bird in the picture had a hard time with Kent. When it got irritated it put its long beek between the bars and went after him. We also went to the the amusement park. I think Misha's favorite was go cart racing. They had a terrific course. We've also enjoyed walking at night in the downtown area. It's a great people watching spot, and there are always street performers. We saw a show put on by local breakdancers that was really impressive, but I still think Misha is better!!
