Last Day in Kyiv

Our last day in Kyiv was another special treat.

First, we stopped back at the office  It was our colleague Sergei Sous’ birthday, and (lucky for him, they sell alcohol at those roadside gas stations, remember? 😉) We were able to pick him up a bottle of vodka (his favorite) and present it to him as his birthday gift. Also, everyone loved the LP Hawaiian shirt, so we are ordering a bunch of them. 👍

It was our colleague Sergei Sous’ birthday!

The next morning, I was honored to have breakfast at the home of Pasha’s parents, Anatoliy and Anna. If you look closely, you can see behind us are dozens of hockey pucks  Anatoly played for the Soviet National team against the NHL and the other top teams in the world (he even had a Buffalo Sabres puck from when he played vs. the Sabres in the 90’s in Buffalo. Still a big, tough guy 🙂

Andrii and his wife

Andrii and his lovely wife, Radmila (and baby Adrian), joined us.  Check out the spread—and this is only HALF the table.  What a feast! It was all prepared by Pasha’s Mom, Anna.

Afterward, Anatoly and I took a shot of his Mom’s homemade vodka. Pretty damn good!

And then Andrii and I took a dip in their pool, joined by their beautiful dog, Afina.

family time

No words necessary here–The picture is worth 1,000 words 😊

It is clear to me what wonderful parents Pasha has, why he is such a good “kid,” and what a wonderful family Andrii and Radmila will build.

Did my heart/all our hearts good, I believe.

A(nother) special day!

Onward!
