I'm still trying to tell you about some amazing trips I've had this summer, but my work schedule is still too full. So I hope you'll forgive me for not posting as often as I'd like too. So the next day after flying back to Kyiv from Moscow I went to Lusts'k - my friend's parents live there and we had a chance to stay at their place while they were on rafting in Croatia.
So here are some pictures from those hot summer days. Luts'k is a beautifull small city in northwestern Ukraine. It has a great history, lovely people, delicious food and a beautiful castle.
So let me take you for a walk and show you this great place as I saw it on hot July days)))

Beautiful flowers by my friend's parents' summer house.
I came home with rather nice tan))
Children's railroad - it's a real, functioning railroad, where children can learn everything about trains.
One of the main streets
Spice shop called "The Spice Queen")
Luts'k main Catholic cathedral
One of the castle's tower
Huge chess board
The castle was built by prince Lubart, son of Gediminals (who built Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania - I'm gonna tell you about him when I get to my Lithuanian vacation)
It says "Roksolana" - a beautiful Ukrainian name, also one of the name of national heroine of Ukraine and the wife of Suleiman the Magnificent, Anastasia Lisowska)
Apple tree in the court yard of the castle
The castle's prison
The museum of bells
The city from the castle's window
The directions to other European cities - Trakai (I visited it when I was in Lithuania), Białystok, Olsztyn, Torun.
Sviatyij Mykolai (St.Nicholas) - saint patron of Luts'k
Dobry vojak Svejk - the character from the very famous book by Czech writer Jaroslev Hasek. This restoran is named after him
The St. Peter and Paul cathedral
Me))) My friend told me that it's the nessesary photo for everyone, who visits Luts'k for the first time)) I still have my ice-cream in my hand)
Playground in the city park
Well, I hope you've enjoyed our walk as much as I enjoyed visiting this beautiful city))
What an amazing trip! Oh you are so lucky to be able to travel. I feel like I never go anywhere these days. I hear you about being busy, this has been a terrible month for blogging for me. Adrienne and I are focusing on hats for the Nov. 'How I Wear My' post. Do you ever wear them? You can send me a picture if you want by Nov. 1, I'm hosting again. We'd love to have you! We are about to get a hurricane tomorrow night in NYC so I hope we still have power so I can work on this post! XO, Jill
