Odessa Archaeological Museum Part 1

 It's not as Soviet-looking as the museums in Sofia, and it has a -lot- of artifacts from the Black Sea area during the Greek period.  Here are photos of some of the artifacts.  I found it interesting even without much in the way of English language signage.











Done With Another Part

Yay! I'm finally done with the bottom half of the sampler!

Going Down

It's not much progress, but it's there.  The bricks are getting built out and things go on downwards.

Bobba Fett

is everywhere!

Tobacco Road Done

Got this temari done, finally!  It looks good, I think.

Hanging Up

Another present from Andreas' parents!  It's a flag hook.  I think we've found a place to put it, but haven't found any extra Command thingees to hang it.

Best Steak So Far In Eastern Europe

Our last dinner in Odessa was at Steakhouse.  It's on Deribaskaya Street and pricey, but.... the food is excellent.  We started with a meat and cheese tray, which was abundant, to say the least.  I had a glass of wine from Spain, and Andreas had iced tea.  As usual, it's hard to believe it's tea.  Salads for both of us, with very fresh veg.  Andreas had venison, which was slightly overdone, but he liked it.  I had a wonderful steak.  It truly was the best I've had in eastern Europe, which is not a place known for beef.
