Here are some pics that were uploaded last week but I did not have time to post it to the blog so you guys get to see it almost a week later. Last Sunday we decided to take a break and Oleg drove us across the river to the "Island". This was not far from our apartment and is where a lot of the locals go on the weekends to rest and relax. As we got in the car to head out for the day it was raining again. We decided to go ahead and go anyway in hopes that the rain would go away. It eventually did!! We drove across this bridge and were able to get out of the car for a little bit to take some great pictures. The sights were breathtaking and we were so happy that we got the chance to see this part of Zaporozhye. As we were walking to this reconstruction of an old village Oleg showed us a wild plant that is growing all along the pathway. We found out that it is marijuana!! Yikes!! I have never seen this in person, only on TV so it was crazy to see it just growing all over the place. So of course we had to take some silly pictures with it so that is the pics you see of each of us standing among some plants making funny faces. What a sight to see!! We had a really good day with our new friends here in Ukraine. We miss them so much already. We have been greatly blessed by knowing them for this short time in our life.
