Hey friends and family. We are having a really great time so far. Today we took a tour and saw the presidents office, a cool statue of a whole bunch of people. IT WAS HUGE. Next we saw the national soccer cup stadium that is still being built. Then we ate fast food and we had to order and all the workers spoke Ukrainian. Thank God for Natasha and her translating abilties!!!!! Then we went to a famine Museum and lit candles to remember the people who died from famine. After that we went to a Cathedral and went under ground into a catacombs and saw some pretty cool dead Saints. By that point we were all very exhausted and we needed to stop for ice cream. Then we went shopping in this cool place that was under the street because its much easier to cross under the street. We then took the Metro which was really cool because it was about 200 to 300 feet under ground and it zoomed us down there on these really speedy escalators. We took the Metro to dinner at a resaurant called Pravda which means the truth in Russsian. I tried this liver cake and it made me really nauseous. They had these really yummy dumplings that they call Vareniki. Then we walked back to the hostel.
