Ruslana's home

This one's for the Moms in our lives: fresh, wild oregano...hmmmmm

So thats a wee window into life deep in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Pretty fabulous! We walked and walked through forests, fields, past old abandoned houses and away from ceaslessly barking dogs. Its an amazing place! Ruslana, our new-found friend from the local corner store, invited us into her home for a few days. She's an amazing girl, so patient with our crappy language, and SO welcoming! We love her! Its true!

Hugs and kisses to you all.
