We planned to visit the museum and fortress on the island in Zaporosia, Maria had checked and they were open until five everyday. However, when we called Tuesday to confirm that they were open they said they were going to be closed... but since Victor was coming with the van it was decided that we could just walk around the area, "enjoying the nature." Garry, Maria, and I (Teresa) went, along with the father from the boys' group home, Andrey and the seven students (the new Kolya has already left).
Polo came along for the ride- at least it wasn't a trip to the vet, maybe he will like riding in the car better next time.
When we got to the island, we found out we couldn't get near the fort, there were policemen everywhere, even standing about every 20 meters along the woods, facing the road. We were joking that the president must be there - and it turns out we may have been right, it was the anniversary of the liberation of Zaporosia from the Nazis!
So Victor drove around a bit and we walked down to the river and enjoyed nature there.
