Andriyivskyy Descent, Kiev, Ukraine - 3rd November 2012

By: Katusha

Good day! We went to the Andriyivskyy Descent today. It is a historic street in Kiev with beautiful buildings, many souvenir stores and great panoramic views of Kiev.

You can see in the background The Saint Andrew's Church that is located atop a hill, where Andriyivskyy Descent starts. It was our main goal today.

Monument to the main characters of very popular in Ukraine and Russia movie. Name of this movie hard to translate for my host, but it means something like " if you run after two hares, you will catch neither".

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G66tPWgxJX0/UJeQ57_E1OI/AAAAAAAAC4Q/oIhvw__XYSQ/s640/IMG_1797.jpg

It was a long walk. And we were very hungry. This day we decided to visit a new vegetarian cafe near our house.

My host is not a vegetarian but she said everything there was very tasty. And I agree with her:)

So this was my day. I guess I will arrive in a few days to my next host, so I let you know Mommy.
Hear you soon, bye-bye,
your Qah!
