Ukraine

The Ukraine.  Another one of my motherlands.  I can't decide if having five nationalities is a good or bad thing, but at least for blogging purposes, it's quite interesting to research and think about visiting.  The largest country in Europe, Ukraine is surrounded by Russia, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungry, Romania and Moldova.


Holding the 8th place visited by tourists, Ukraine has many destinations throughout the country worth visiting.  First and foremost in my mind, is of course, the mountains.  The Carpathian Mountains are used for hiking, skiing, fishing, and hunting.  Ukraine also compiled a list of the "Seven Wonders of Ukraine", all of which look interesting to me.  (Each of them should have links so you can learn more) :)


1. Sofiyivsky Park

2. Kiev Pechersk Lavra or Monastery of the Caves
3. Kamianets-Podilskyi Historical Complex

4. Khortytsia (an island)
5. Chersonesos (an ancient Greek colony)
6. Saint Sophia Cathedral
7. Khotyn Fortress

Ось і все!  (That's it.)Hopefully that's correct Ukrainian...otherwise blame Google Translate.  :)

Ciao,
