Odessa-Ukraine

Odessa, Ukraine. There was a band playing music on the pier, to welcome us. They were being recorded by a TV camera. We walked up and down 192 steps from the pier level to the street level for the business area, while on a guided walking tour.

Photo 558 shows us standing on the 192 stairs from the pier level to the street level of the business area.

Photo 581 is a cactus sign in front of a store. The USA southwest is known around the world!

Life is tough, but someone has to do it. The food at all meals is fantastic. This is the new waistline (__). Today, during lunch after the walking tour, I had blueberry cobbler with ice cream. Well, now I must walk/waddle the length of the ship, to the library, to use the wireless internet connection to send this.  J
