Fourth of July-Ukrainian style!
To celebrate the independence of my own fine country this year, I joined up with the large group of Peace Corp Volunteers in the region for a celebration at my friend Margo’s apartment in the nearby town of Dobropolia, Ukraine. Dobropolia is even smaller than Artemivsk and arguably, seems more ‘soviet’. It was really fun to see a new town in Ukraine and to get to know many new Americans that were all living pretty close by. We barbequed meat in the field next to Margo’s apartment building, drank lots of Ukrainian beer (and even some Miller Light we found at a nearby shop!) and capped off the evening with an obligatory setting off of fireworks. Her neighbors did not enjoy our fireworks as much as we did but we ended the evening on an amiable note with all.
