Our last day in Kiev until the end of our trip. Here's a few quick glimpses of things we've seen, as we walked and walked. This is going to be a bunch of tiny pictures 'cause I'm writing from a café before we get on a night train for Lviv.




A lot of the subway stations are very deep. This isn't the deepest one in the world (though we saw that one today); but this is the one closest to us. One of two elevators descending into the depths.


I mentioned the hilariously Soviet vibe of the hotel, did I not?


In the grand tradition of visiting foreign countries and climbing the tall thing, we went up the bell tower of the St. Sophia Cathedral.





There is an amazing street full of sculptures by various artists; through one, I glimpsed my eventual end--eaten by a gigantic cat:








The St. Andreas Cathedral.


Posing with Mikhail Bulgakov. Apparently not worth going into the museum, but the statue is cool.

The Cheshire playground colors are awesome. Also really like the figure with the bubble/stone/water-globule on its face. Thanks for the pics!

Those subway escalators require a certain amount of optimism / phobia-resistance. I think I would handle my trepidations less well now that I'm gimpy and can't assume I'd recover from a misstep. It seems only a very few are cast into the pit and/or eaten by the toothy-stair maw, tho. :p

That playground is amazing! Except the Cheshire cat, which looks like it feasts on human souls. But it is an honourable end for a cat lady and in the afterlife you shall be rewarded with cats.

I like the statue of Mikhail Bulgakov :D

I don't have mine anymore, alas, but I do have some others I can give it if it decides to be my friend.

I hadn't seen that the giant cat was ALL TILES in the FB version of the photo! That's some pretty good tiling there. Love me some tiles.
