Mike...thanks for the travel suggestion.....everything here is air-conditioned in sumer which is why so many of us have moved here. But I do love the Autumn best.... I miss the beautiful colors of early Autumn. I imagine Ukraine would be that way .... like Oksana says. Correct? ;-) A good time to travel there. I never thought the country was gray...just how the cities were built from the Soviet times and the clothing too. But that was then.... not now. I speak some spanish ...but now it would be helpful to learn some Ukraine or Russian.
