Evenings in Lviv

The first day we arrived (at 6:03 am), we kept right on running until we couldn't run anymore - 10:00 pm for us. After our whirlwind tour, we had a quick supper and then walked to Andriy's apartment to look at his new home, his photography and his wife's paintings. All very nice.


On other evenings we strolled through the main square and the parks near the centre. Sunday night was especially interesting as we saw men playing chess on park benches along with young couples enjoying the time with their children.


The highlight was an impromptu songfest, apparently started by one or two couples. By the time we arrived there was a large group of Ukrainians singing folk songs. Very stirring to see and hear.

Pretty amazing! I think I see Ali in the crowd doing her best to sing along ;-)
I bet the church services growing up paid off!!
