Odessa

I was finally able to go into Odessa for the first time while not being on a tour. It was beautiful. The past two times of doing the Black Sea Tour kind of made me hate these places. Probably because I was surrounded by angry/aggrivated guests whom I did tours with every day. This time around I did 0 tours and got to experience the Ukraine on my own. I would definitely go back now. Some of the kindest people in one of the most unique places. No one speaks English so you better brush up on your Russian! =)

Yalta

Ялта восхитительно! (Yalta is amazing!)

Spending the day in Yalta was absolutely amazing. Great food and crazy adventures. I tried rabbit. Yup. That happened. And it was delicious! I had a racecar driver as a taxi driver/guide. Oh, and there was also the zipline to Swallow's Nest...and maybe some monkeys and an owl involved. Sushi and some random street music. Here are a couple of pictures =)

Borsch soup: beetroot and pork served with sour cream 

I'm gonna miss this girl. Alyona was my casino girl who taught me the little Russian I know.

Zipline to Swallow's Nest? Yes.

I made it!

Santorini again!

Since Camilla aka my sista from another mista hadn't ridden the donkeys up the mountain to Fira in Santorini I decided I needed to take her. I know she has a video of some of it so when I can ill post that as well.
