Maidan!

Yes this is my third blog post today but this is important. Ukraine has been in the international news a lot recently because of the massive demonstrations in Independence Square, aka Maidan. Victor took his young son to Maidan yesterday and told us it was very safe and that we really should visit today. We did, and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Wow wow wow. I can't put into words what we saw other than both Sasha and I were giddy. It was absolutely awe-inspiring. I'll let the pictures and video tell the story. Almost exactly a year ago, I stood in the exact same spot and took the same panoramic video of Independence Square. The atmosphere couldn't be more different.
