It's been almost two years since I updated this blog. On our way out of Kiev we went several rounds with our Taxi driver as he threatened to drive off with our bags if we didn't pay double the fare. I like to think he'd have honored the fare our friend had arranged if he hadn't been pulled over by the police. As escapes from far way places go, it was bourgeois. I posted the last batch of photos and reconciled it all to memory.
But our trip to Ukraine has been on my mind since news of the Domodedovo airport bombing broke. You can see the footage authorities released at that link. Shadow women and men wheeling luggage. The second time the loops shows them, you watch and wish they'd walk slower. And everything explodes again.
When I saw the footage on a hotel TV I thought back to the airport security officer in Lviv, almost embarrassedly digging through Axel's thomas the tank engine suit case.
Safe travels; heart goes out to everyone impacted.
