Visiting Lviv With a Purpose - Meeting the Family - Part Two

Arsenal Museum...recommended!  

Someone back home recommended we see the Opera House.  We were glad he did.
Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, private balcony seats,
the boys tolerated it, Mike enjoyed the orchestra
AND the cost was perfect for our budget.  REALLY PERFECT!
I cried - I kept asking the kids to pinch me to see if I was dreaming!

Inside the Opera House during intermission

had to visit McD's in Lviv....for coffee and 50 cent ice cream cones : )
Honestly, I could do without the eight balloons though!

Our second restaurant since coming to Ukraine a year ago.....
so nice to not have to make dinner!!!!!!

well behaved at the restaurant and looking forward to eating! : )

Matthew plays ragtime music in Rynok Square....so cool!

the top of High Castle at sunset.  

aren't they cute!

lots of sightseeing, museums, history, culture....
a great way to kick off school!

Ahh...the real reason we traveled to Lviv....
to meet Mike's family for the first time!
separated for over 60 years....we were so thankful to God for this honor.
There is NOTHING like Ukrainian hospitality
AND
coming from family doubled the goodness of it all!

I want to bottle it up and bring it back home with us.
