Glockenspiel! :-)

We are back in Lutsk after a day and a half in Lviv.  What a beautiful city!  I won't try describe it now other than to say it was more amazing than I had imagined (even after Marta and Christy had both tried telling me how beautiful it was).
As soon as we arrived in Lviv, we were able to visit aYMCA program that provides programming to kids who are in a sanitorium receiving medical care for heart problems.  It's a home that kids come to for a month at a time, but they get very little programming and interaction when they are there, so they are always very happy to have YMCA volunteers show up.  Ben and Analu led some fun games, and then helped me give the kids Peace tattoos.  We also presented Kristina, the YMCA program volunteer, with a matching Peace Week t-shirt as a reminder of how her work is building peace in our world.
The next day, we toured Lviv with various YMCA volunteers.  It was great to hang out with Yulia, Sophia, Mikita, Marta, and Andy...we really appreciated their caring and fun conversations.

So now we are in Lutsk, hanging out with Marta and her brother Max.  Marta made lunch for us and Max baked us a cake...both were delicious!  (Have we told you what incredible food we are eating here?!!)  It's surreal to be sitting here in Marta's flat, writing this post.  She and her family are truly amazing people.   Christy, I still remember you writing me an email from here one year ago and telling me how you could tell that she was going to be such a great candidate for YPN.
