1. Walking across this bridge in Odessa that is covered with the pad locks of couples just married… so cute.
2. Getting to see Swan Lake performed in the 2nd most beautiful opera house in the world!!
3. Learning what it means to travel by train. I learned it’s the best because you get to lay down.
4. Realizing that Ukrainians really are like watermelons… sweet on the inside once you get through the tough exterior.
5. Moving-I packed my bag at least 9 times this month.
6. Pressing ridiculous amounts of flowers in every book that I am carrying.
7. Drinking Kavas, which is a non-alcoholic Ukrainian beer that they drink like water.
8. Fighting off angry babushkas… no matter how happy they are, their Russian always sounds angry.
9. Eating the best food on the race… no rice in sight.
10. Being on a team with Samara.
ps… All I’m saying is I will be writting my last top ten list of the World Race next month…
