Today we left Poltava after teaching baseball at a local orphanage. The kids loved it. Very well behaved. For some of us, the hot water finally arrived for showers....of course the day we leave.

The drive back to Kyiv was uneventful. Kyiv is bustling, but the locals are a little nervous about the political situation. A police officer fleeced a bribe from the bus driver to get a permit to get downtown. We're really close to the demonstration area. Lots of flags and buses.
