The old lady whose roof this is a photo of owns like 7 cats and sleeps out on the roof during the summer, getting woken up by noisy squirrels and rising with the sun. She took me out on a boat ride on one of my last days in Ukraine.




I asked her if there were sharks in the Black Sea. Her response? "Yes. They are delicious."




The sea is ridiculous.




..and I swim in that bitch sometimes.





So that was it for Crimea. All that was left was to endure the 36-hour train ride back in the hot, stuffy cabin, trying my best to avoid talking to my cabin-mates less they discover my American-ness and decide to rob me.
