Soviet-style Metro, Thomas & Frozen Sand

We took a trip on the Kiev Metro.  The cars looked about 100 years old and this escalator, the longest I have ever ridden, goes at least twice as fast as the ones in the US.  Quite a scary/thrilling ride. Perhaps the solution to all of the trouble with the DC Metro escalators is simply to speed them up!


Yes, Thomas the Train even exists here in Ukraine, much to Gio's delight.


The ride became a bit scary, so Gio insisted that I hold his hand as we went around and around and around....

We visited our local playground just before sunset (at 3 pm!).  Here is Gio's favorite spot: a sandbox within a giant sandbox! Our hands get quite cold making "cakes" as the sand is nearly freezing.
