First Snow in Kyiv

It finally started snowing this weekend!  I know I will be sick of snow by the end of the week but right now I am loving it!  It's so pretty!  It's not super cold yet.  The lowest has been 27 degrees.  Here are some pics from the first day of snow.  It's been snowing some since then, so the city is blanketed in snow...it's beautiful! 

   

 

Kyiv update

It's been ages since I have posted an update on my life in the city.  Things are going really well.  I went to Italy for a week at the end of October and loved every moment of it.  Unfortunately, I have been sick for the two weeks since I've been back.  First with a stomach virus and now with a chest cold.  I guess it's all part of living in a new city with a couple million people.   The weather has been pretty nice.  The highs are now in the mid 40s and it has reached freezing at night. We had crystal clear blue skies for about a week and now we have the rain and clouds.  I am still waiting for the first snow fall.  

Work is going well.  I am up to 16 kindergartners and they keep me very busy.  They speak more languages that I can count.  Some of them are trying to teach me Russian...they might give up soon.  I am not very good at speaking  Russian but I'm learning it slowly.  I ordered juice the other day in Russian and the waiter actually understood me!!  I was very excited!

Italy Pics Finally!

I have finally found the time to post some of the pictures from my trip to Italy this past October.  I went to Florence, Capri and Rome.  It was an amazing trip.  I would move to Italy in a heartbeat.
