Thinking, Thinking, Thinking

In the center of L'viv just chilling with some new found friends.

I don't know how to explain everything in life right now, but I am figuring out A WHOLE LOTTA STUFF! It is awesome! Cliche or not...I am learning a lot about myself. This time in my life is a time of reflection WHILE making memories that I will never forget. If only I was Hannah Holtgeerts and I could write a picture with my words of exactly what I was thinking:) I look forward to every day with a new chance to learn, teach, and create new friendships. I am happy. I am content. I am satisfied with the idea of being happy while I still make plans to grow.
This weekend I learned something new about myself. I learned that I come off as someone who seems like I have plans and want to do specific things in my life, but in reality I am most happy when I am with people who enjoy life as I do...with people who are happy...with people who want to get up and do something everyday...with people who have goals. So I suppose you could say that I have life plans, but on an hour to hour basis, I would rather do something that someone else wants to do because it makes me happy to see others happy.

This weekend I went to L'viv, Ukraine (look it up on the map and google images). It is a super fun city that reveals a lot of pride for Ukraine. It is known for its fun themed cafes. And believe me...THEY WERE FUN! I got to see some really cool ones!

D and I were told by our Ukrainian friend to ring the doorbell to this man's house. He told us it was a restaurant. The man who answered said, "dees iz zee mos expenseev restoorant en lviv." and then he offered us a pancake from his apartment kitchen. We were kind of awestruck because it was an apartment and it did not look like a restaurant at all. A few seconds later he offered to show us his bathroom...so we were like "ok?" lol and then he opened the door and it was this gorgeous restaurant on the other side! This is just one example of the 10 other fabulous cafes we just went in so we could look at the theme. Everybody who goes to this restaurant has to go through this man's kitchen to get in! Too fun!

This car is on top of the 'House of Legends' in Lviv. It is a five story restaurant and each level has a different legend. The top level was the roof with this car up there. It was a lot of fun. I felt bad for the servers! They probably got a workout every night!

Another fun restaurant. This one was Italian and the chairs were in the shape of the back of a person! Such fun restaurants! And the food was delicious of course. My pesto pasta and a truffle was only 36grivna ($4.50)

I WILL PUT MORE L'VIV PICTURES UP SOON!
