Ukraine with all the food and all the legs

So we're in Dnepropetrovsk visiting my relatives. Our days are spent with mostly sleeping, then eating, then walking, then eating, then spending time with relatives, then eating... Well, you guys get the drift. During the walks, we spend time chasing after leggy blondes as they live up to all the stereotypes and make a great picture. And when I say "we", I really only mean Levka ;) For a better description, see our album.

In the free time from all the eating, we decided to try out something crazy... a V-Up. A wonderful thing that was taught to us by Sonechka. Here is Levka's version of a V-up.


You may or may not know that Sonechka does 50 of these during her gymnastics practice. We decided to make it our goal that by the end of this little adventure we will be able to do this many. After actually trying the whole thing and almost passing out after the first 7, we decided to decrease our goal to a more realistic one.
New goal: 25 v-ups in 6 months

Also, we read some important Ukranian news. Russian speakers see the picture below.
Short digest for non-Russian speakers:
Tanya Bulanova (a famous singer) ate a pound of salt.
Raymond Pauls (a famous composer) deceived a killer.

We feel like NOW we're well versed in the Ukranian culture :)


Hugs to all,
