Ukranian dinner

We were given a wonderful surprise last night. Our driver Alec had our other driver Sergei bring us to his mother and father-in-laws house. We returned home too late to post, but on with the story. We arrived there and were greeted by the whole family. Alec, Oksana (his wife), Irina (his daughter), and his mother and father-in-law. We walked through a wonderful grape arbor on our way to the house. They had a awesome swing hanging from the trees. They tried to get Alyssa to swing in it, but she was a little scared. They then showed us their rabbits. They probably had 30 or 40. They raise them to eat. They also had chickens and roosters. Alyssa enjoyed seeing the animals. We didn’t tell her about the eating thing.
We were then invited in to sit down for dinner with them. We had cucumbers, tomatoes, rabbit stew, fresh bread, wine made from their grapes, and they tried to get us to have some vodka, but we said no. The wine was great. Then they served a watermelon fresh from their yard. It was so much fun. We truly felt welcomed into their home. What a great experience. Something we will never forget. We then had to go. It was getting late and Sergei needed to go back to work. We took Alec and his wife back home on our way back to our apartment. Thank you God for sending us Alec. We went through a lot of drivers before Natasha was comfortable with one for us. The minute she met him she knew that he was the one. We are so grateful. He is trying to learn English while he is driving us. I would recommend him to anyone that has to come to Kirovograd.
Enjoy the movie.
