Ukraine
I just got back from a 2-day detour on a business trip to the Ukraine. I had a great view flying over this part of the world especially of the small villages and towns in the mountains. In Austria, there were lots of windmill farms, which I’ve never really seen from above before.
Once again, I didn’t take any pictures (really wishing I had the iPhone or BlackBerry Storm with a camera on my phone right about now) so I cheated and snagged a few stock photos below. The architecture was beautiful in the capitol Kyiv – an interesting mix of West and East. I even got to see snow in the morning though it was just a few flakes here and there. Overall, it was a quick trip, but great to see another new city.

Yay, Ukraine! Glad your trip there went successfully! Still jealous you saw snow, even if it were just a few flurries. Always nice to see other places and maybe we can squeeze Austria in on our things to do list since you liked it soooo much!

Love that picture where you can see the old and the new building styles! Looks pretty and so excited you are getting to see all this cool stuff!
It was a really beautiful city. Can’t wait to go back.
