Beautiful day






This is the University not too far from where we live. This is the first time we had seen it. It was a beautiful day and we had to go with the Elders so they took us by it.











Yes, no coats. This was also the first day I had not worn my boots, heavy coat, and scarve, it seemed so good. This is a Statue right across from the University of Franko, I guess he had a lot to do founding Lviv. He even had another city named after him Ivano-Frankivsk, here in Ukraine. There is a huge park behind him. We didn't see too much of it because the Missionaries wanted to go and eat. Surprise!

And here we have a McDonalds. This one is on Center street. We usually go to one a little closer to our apartment which I think is nicer.






This is also down the strip you might say right in front of the Opera House, it's about 5-6 blocks long and you can walk and they have benches all down it that you can catch your friends and play a game of chess or usually we see a boy and girl making out, or just sit and relax while you're waiting for your photo's to get developed which is what we were doing and just enjoying the sun.








Now here is who sat down after the boy and girl left. This red hair is very common except this is almost pink. A lot of the women have their hair dyed red, dark red. Young and old. You might think It was a mistake but no I don't think there is that many mistakes in Lviv.

We're getting ready to go to English class. We're teaching them about homograph's and homophone's. Homograph is two words that are spelled the same but is different in meaning. One might be a verb and the other is a noun. Like: The bandage was wound around the wound. Or
The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
Homophone: is a word that is pronounced the same way but is different in meaning and sometimes in spelling, as are "hair" and "hare."
"The baby started to (bawl, ball) when the (ball, bawl) hit him."
Today was rainy this morning but great this afternoon. We'll enjoy what we can.
