Leaving the dacha was heartbreaking. It's so nice there now, the weather's surprisingly amazing, and we've had such a wonderful time there overall. I was packing our stuff this afternoon, and really, I almost cried a few times.

At Besarabka, there's a stage right outside our window, and Chernovetsky's sponsoring some stupid concert, about to begin, at 7 PM. For the past few hours, they've been playing "Leave the Kids Alone" and "Don't Worry, Be Happy" real loud.

At Maidan, there are two stages set up: one belongs to the Party of the Regions, the other - to some Pylypyshyn guy, who's sponsoring some anti-car event tomorrow, I guess.

Whatever's going on in our politics now is not reflected in Kyiv's center. Everyone's walking around, drinking beer, listening to the street musicians. Just an average weekend.
