Host Weekend

I know I say this all the time but only because it's true..

MY HOST FAMILY IS THE BEST!!! 

So this weekend they decided to take me out to meet one of their friends and go kayaking.

I don't have a picture of it (sad I know) but while we were out there we saw this "sacrificial scarecrow" that the people said they planned on burning that night. Pretty cool..or weird I guess.

 This is the Dnipro river.

 After such a fun day we went back to Vitalii's apartment to eat pizza, watch the sunset and drink juice out of giant classy wine glasses. 

My life is Ukraine is really great!!!

And the weekend isn't even over yet..

HOORAY!!!

This weekend was the big soccer game.

UKRAINE VS RUSSIA

 We even celebrated before the game by more pizza and juice out of wine glasses. 

This is my host family Igor (host dad), Kate (host mom), Natalya (host moms sister).

This soccer stadium is HUGE and packed full of crazy soccer fans

Oh and I can't forget the crazy drunks that spill beer on you.. 

Even though I can't read the soccer ticket I love showing it to people and telling them that this game cost me like $2.00. 

Going back to prices in America is going to be killer..

OFFICIAL EUROPEAN SOCCER GAME!!!

I never thought I would go to a American soccer game let alone a European one is UKRAINE.

Team Dynamo (It's said Dee-Nam-Oo not Dynamo) won!!! 

         Such an exciting night and exciting weekend.
