City Views - Незалежності

Valentina and I are posing at the pedestrian boulevard Nezalezhnosti, one of the squares in the city center. Valentina is a former Fulbrighter from Ukraine (to the University of Georgia) who came to visit me in I-F. She teaches in Kyiv at the Agricultural University, specializing in sustainable economic development. We spent a lot of time touring the city - her first time here though she is from Ternopil, a few hours away- and talking about her participation in the Orange Revolution.
