Quick update

July 5, 2009

Please excuse the rather considerable silence. My last weeks in Ukraine were a blur and I had no time to spare for posts on this site. During this time I was:

  • doing loads of PC paperwork;
  • strategically packing basically everything I own;
  • finishing all my work and closing my projects;
  • preparing for an extended post-PC trip; and
  • executing an ambitious but awesome 12-day tour of Ukraine with my brother.

I was literally balancing all of these things at the same time, right through my last day as a Peace Corps volunteer: June 15, 2009. My brother left that morning, I finished up several errands and Kyiv, and in the evening I boarded a train to Moscow. Since then, I’ve been on another ambitious but awesome tour of European Russia and the Baltics.  I’ll definitely write in length about my last days in Ukraine and the present trip, but probably not until later this month, when I anticipate some down time to review notes (I’m keeping a written journal) and sort through pictures.

Until then!
