More Autumn Pics





Here are more pics from the park around my apartment and school.  The city actually pays someone to rake leaves into little piles in a forest.

I actually get an autumn!





The trees in front of my apartment building



I live near one of the largest parks in the country.  In the two months I have been here, I hadn't set foot in it.  So this morning, I walked to school with my friend Tim and he showed me the path to school.  It is beautiful!  I walked back through the park and got a little lost but it was worth it.  The pics above are from today in the park.  The leaves are continuously changing..so I will keep posting the fall scenery around Kyiv.  

Escalators

This is a typical escalator in Kyiv's metros.  They average about a 2-3 minute ride from start to finish.  It seems to take forever! There is one that takes 8 minutes but I haven't been to that metro stop yet. 

Football Game



A couple of weeks ago, I experienced my first Kyiv Dynamo football game.  The game started at 9:45 PM on a Wed. night...I thought it was going to start at 7:45.  The fans were crazy..much more entertaining than the actual game.    I don't know if I will make a habit of going to the games but it was a good time!
