On Sunday in Lviv, we ate breakfast at the hotel and headed out for more exploring. I was really sick and Sam was feeling slightly better. Neither Barbara or Isobel were getting sick yet. We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel until three when we would take a cab to the airport. We went back to the market square to do some shopping. I bought a small glass chicken (I now have a Ukrainian chicken!!!!!!!!), a bandelero (similar to a guitar but smaller and slightly different shape), and a cup and saucer made from black clay (Very elegant in it’s simplicity). We met an Ukrainian couple who had lived in the states for several years. They were very nice. They helped us do our shopping; there is the regular price for items and then the price for Americans. They wanted to spend time with us but we were leaving soon by the time we met them. We visited another church, walked thru a beautiful park, traveled some new streets, found a restaurant with simple but very delicious food and then headed back to the hotel. We caught our cab to the airport and hung out for an hour till our plane left. There were no assigned seats for the flight so it was a free for all getting on the plane. A new slogan I have is “worse than cattle in a chute.” There we 5 guys on the plane who needed to slapped up; they were terribly unruly and drunk. Happily two of them were really in pain when the plane started landing cuz their ears wouldn’t pop. JJJJJJJ Revenge is so sweet sometimes. The taxi ride back to our apartments was terrifying but we got home safe.
