Mel and Sal do Ukraine, Part 1

Mel is here! And by "here", I mean Balaklia. We are at the post office, which these days has THREE computers with public Internet, and we are using two. We have had lunch at the Ys' (the elementary schoolers are pulling out all the English they know, which isn't much), went to my school and had tea with the director, and are now in the center. Mel is a great person to be with in Ukraine, because she finds it all interesting.

Yesterday I had the chance to do some second-hand shopping in Kharkiv. I have a new pink skirt and oatmeal-colored tank top for about $3 total, plus a (new) wooden barrette from the art market for about $4. Not bad at all.
