... mother never had to worry that i was going to die from mal-nutrition... My sister can walk down the streets of her town in safety without fear of being kidnapped... My wife doesn't have to become a widow because of some horrific war in our own country... I started thinking about all of the disgusting injustices people inflict upon each other...and especially of the injustices my fellow ...

Dear Friends,<br><br>I have this really great story already typed out and ready to go...but I forgot it at my new home. It describes my time when I was sick and how I swore in as a volunteer. I sort of found this internet club by accident and wasn't prepared for the greatness it would behold: a computer with working internet! <br><br>I am officially a volunteer for Peace Corps. Those last 3 months were just a joke...now the real work begins ...

... pussy willows and other branches in buds. Tomorrow will be Palm Sunday here. The Monastery is beautiful inside, a lot of murals, pictures and icons. No place to sit.

... up the fireworks on the waterfront not very far at all from the Gen'l Lee and it looked like they were getting ready for an artillery barrage. Later it was all worthwhile as we watched what had to be the best fireworks I've ever seen from a front row seat on the top deck of the ship!!!! Moldova The following day was time for me to leave the General Lee and I was ready to head off and explore on my own. Went to the bus ...

It is really was an "ah" moment because it makes perfect sense. He is a bit crazy because although he has wireless in every room in the hostel, he has blocked Facebook and YouTube.

It is a great place to hang out and people in Kiev love to go out in the sunshine. On July 12 I had another wonderful day in Kiev. I got to go to the beach.
