Happy Ivana Kupala Day!

Hey Everyone, 

Three more days of camp:( Yesterday evening we ventured to the city center to take part in the pre celebrations of Ivana Kupala day, which is a major Ukrainian holiday. There was singing, dancing, and even more dancing around the fire. Everyone, including myself, was dancing around the stage and fire and enjoying the festivities! My hope is that everyone can take part in the experience one day!

The other day we did some further hiking in the mountains, higher this time. The view, oh the view, was spectacular! Tomorrow we will be venturing to the highest mountain in Verkhovyna, and I hope that the weather brings us some sunshine. It has been rainy the last few days, but it is still beautiful here! 

Thank-you to everyone who helped me prepare and come on this adventure, it has been truly amazing!!!!!!

Till next blog,

Jillian
