It's Tuesday morning and the team left for Kiev in Victor's van by 4 am this morning-they should be well on their way to the airport. Hopefully they get onto the plane with all of their goodies they are bringing home (some suitcases may be too full of cheese and presents for their granddaughters) and make it home without any volcano ash delays.
Yesterday was the last day and it was a busy one, with some concrete form construction, cleanup (they did buy that push broom on Sunday at the market) and even Mike trying out the Ukrainian lawnmower in the morning. After a lunch featuring the lazyman's pierogie dinner that the team made for their fundraising lunch (some of the team did not get to taste it then), the guys made concrete with the mixer to fill the form near the end of the barn. Around 5 pm some of the local boys (around 8ten year olds) came over to play futball (soccer) upstairs in the haymow against the guys. With the addition of a few boards to keep the ball from falling over the edges the haymow floor made a good field (the kids normally play in the street) The final score was 8-8, with only a few injuries on both sides. Then Seth took a final team photo in front of the milkhouse (one on everyone's camera) After supper, packing suitcases and a final campfire in the yard, everyone went to bed. Shortly after midnight a chorus of barking village dogs woke up some of the team (and me)- just saying farewell!
