A few photos from yesterday. We spent most of our time at St. Sofia's and St. Michael's. The first is a Catholic church, the 2nd is Orthodox. I only have 1 long shot of St. Michael's, though I liked it better than St. Sofia's. I plan to go back and get more later in the trip.
St. Sofia from St. Michael's, I will probably crop this at some point.
St. Sofia's Cathedral from the bell tower. By the way, I can see St. Sofia's from my apartment.
St. Sofia's and my friend, Ania.

Statue of Hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky, a somewhat controversial Ukrainian historical figure in front of St. Sofia. He signed a pact with Russia to defend Ukraine against Poland in 1654 AD, which eventually led to Ukraine's subjugation to Russia for centuries.
Hey Dad! Glad you made it there safely. The architecture is amazing there and you are quite good at taking photos! Who knew! :) I'm enjoying reading your blogs and am awaiting more posts and pics daily! Enjoy your time there and be safe. Love, Sara
