Kiev Day 1

KIEV DAY 1

After a fabulous breakfast with a nice view,
We felt again like new.

Then a group briefing, on the written material contents,
And a review of all upcoming events.

We started a city tour of Kiev, called the City of golden domes,
It looks as if they have more Orthodox churches then single homes.

Most people seem to live and be content and at ease,
In high rise apartments surrounded by trees.

We toured St. Sophia Cathedral built in 1037 by Prince Yaraslow de Wise,
And the ancient building is very pleasing to ones eyes.

It is a humbling feeling to stand here, admiring this well preserved beauty,
And for tourists visiting Kiev, it should be a duty!

A walking tour ended with experiencing delicious local fluid and food,
That kept us on this hot day in a good mood.

But upon return that euphoria was gone fast,
Because, my IPad backup, I found out, did not last!

My writings of this trip, I know, I had not banished….
They had just vanished!

In the evening by bus to a local restaurant for ethnic food, music and song,
Luckily did not last to long!

The food was not to write home about,
And the music and song a bit to loud.

On the way we experienced the reason why this city is so green,
It rained harder then seldom I have seen.

Back at the hotel, I started to recreate my lost essay’s
Of the last few days.

But soon it was too tired to write!
I went to bed at almost midnight!
