Well, the second round of voting for Ukrainian president is tomorrow. If you are thinking, what, you mean the election is on Easter Sunday, Ukraine follows the Orthodox calendar so it's not Easter until next week. There was a big debate last night between the two candidates left on the ballot, the current president, and the television star who plays the president on the show Servant of the People.
With the election winding down, lots of billboards now have for rent signs on them. I did get a photo of President Poroshenko's new billboard which is supposed to show he'd be tough on Russia.
We've seen lots of patriotic displays in the years since the war started, it seems everything has been painted yellow and blue, the colors of the flag. The sign basically means praise Ukraine.
We have been watching this high rise that has been going up quickly this year near the river in Dnepro. We always take the river road to get downtown where Garry teaches, and every week it is more finished.
I forgot to say that Valentina came with us to Zaporosia Thursday around five to buy the compressor. We stopped off at a sharohmah stand and I took a photo of Garry and Valentina wanting for our dinner on the go.
Afterwards I finally got a photo of my favorite road sign. Every time we drive under it, I say I should get a photo of it, they just put it up last year, but there's always been all those ways to go! It's self explanatory. All you Manitoba folks thought Winnipeg has the real confusion corner!
The most common reasons for city traffic problems... disabled car, minor collision waiting for police investigation or ocassionly a broken traffic light.
We were following this car last Sunday in Dnepro while going past a market.
Wishing you all a blessed Easter tomorrow, unless you are here in Ukraine, where it's Willow Sunday. He is risen indeed.
