We went to the Ukraine with our friends Kim and Romaine Romney. Our hosts, Wilf and Meka Voge, were already there. We left the local airport on September 16, and landed in Odessa, Ukraine on September 17. We were met by our hosts at the airport and driven to the port; we stayed the entire time on a riverboat. Odessa is a newer city started by Katherine the Great. It reminds me of Washington, D.C. with its straight, broad streets. On the evening of September 18, we went to the Opera House there to see Swan Lake. The opera house is an exact duplicate of La Scala. For about $12 each, we got seats in a box. The top photo is the Opera House. The middle one is of the six of us in our life jackets during the mandatory safety drill; from left to right: Wilf Voge, me, Meka Voge, Carol, Romain and Kim Romney. The bottom photo is our sister ship.
