Some photos from my room... here is a birthday card Roch and I made for Olya.


My laundry... =)


This is a new walkway that Roman and his father built in the summer; beautiful work!


Roman in his usual place... =)


Here is a message I tried to write, but my family didn't understand it. I was trying to let them know not to wake me up... I think I had the day off work, because I've got "9:00 Robota" crossed out.


Some friends of the family were over at the end of July... my host mother is second from the left.


Left: Olya.


I wrote a fair number of postcards... not to the ridiculous extent that I did on the last program, though... and these days I'm kind of burnt out on postcards and mail altogether. =)


Roman and Volodim, at checkers.


My host father and his car.


Mid-November. It may have been the fateful day that I decided to let my beard keep growing. This was not well-recieved by most, and I should have chickened out.


Roman is quite an accomplished knitter!


Some turkeys out in the late-November touch of snow.


November 30th: Roman knits a toque for Olya - probably a Christmas present.


Look at the cute little tufts!

And yes, we had a White (Western) Christmas, December 25th:

There are a few more home pictures from after my trip to Poland...
