Yesterday, they went to another incredible skating rink in the villages of Balivka, Loboykivka and Petrykivka. We jokingly said that we were going to eat the best shawarma in the region, but in reality we had a completely different goal. The real goal was to touch the Ukraine that is disappearing, to see the remnants of old world Ukraine that have survived. For 120 kilometers of the journey, in addition to steppes, forests, rivers, floodplains and meadows, we were lucky enough to see the most interesting thing - old houses with reed, mat and straw roofs, which were built in the 19th century. and miraculously survived to this day. Some of the houses that we saw were inhabited and in excellent condition, and some were abandoned and their condition was terrible, because time did not spare them. Smells added to the impression. This mixture of smells of mown hay, campfire and cow dung immerses you in this authenticity as much as possible.
