Kossac and his Celo


Saturday we left Crimea and came back on a little plane to Kiev.  We met up with Natalie, a member from Borshahivskiy.  We started the day with going to Peregov!  It is a HUGE outside museum.  They took real houses from little celo’s (Ukrainian Villages) and restored them and put them in the same area.  There were a ton of houses.  It was out in the boonies with trees everywhere.  It had the coolest feel to it.  


They even had Kossacs to take pictures with.



He was kinda mean tho.  We got ripped off by some random guys which was totally lame but Howie came to mine and Natalie’s rescue and paid the guy off. What would we do with out Howie!?? 

We then headed to andreevsky spusk.  I was so happy the church was all repainted and absolutely beautiful.  For my whole mission it was covered in scaffolding getting it refurbished.  



After the Spoosk we were able to go to the best Ukrainian restaurant in Kiev.  I had never been there but walked past it all the time not knowing what it was, because it is right by the church on Shota, in center. Of course I got Verenikiy z kopustoyu (dumplings with cabbage) They are my favorite!!
