Hmm, maybe I should have sprung for a different free blog, because twice now I’ve written a post only to have it disappear. I was going to give some highlights from my first day in Odessa, but you’ll just have to wait for tomorrow for that. I ain’t re-typing all that now!

Fortunately, it’s only 8am back in Portland, so “tomorrow” might actually mean “later today” for our West coast viewers, or “tonight” for those not living in the PNW.

I will say, though, that I put up a couple pictures from the Kiev airport. (I had a couple others, but I didn’t like them. I’ll redo them when I’m there on Monday.) I haven’t figured out if I can do captions with the built-in photo gallery thing, so here’s what they is:

(1) The main parking lot at Borispil. Really. That’s about it. There are a few more spaces in front of the A terminal, but this is clearly not an airport that people drive to and park. For those who do, it appears that parking is free.

(2) A shot of Terminal A, the domestic terminal. Trust me, it is as small as it looks, but they do a ton of traffic. Yesterday, in the time between my check-in and my flight leaving (roughly 90 minutes), they ran through nearly a dozen flights (most of them departing).
