Anniversary Adventures

*Sorry, we just realized that this post didn't publish for some reason.  Let's try posting it again...

We decided to celebrate our anniversary (on July 5th) by adventuring to two new places in Kyiv.  (Well, they're "new" to us, anyway).  We went to the Kyiv Dolphinarium to see a seal and dolphin show.  Even though the announcer spoke in Russian (which we didn't really understand), it was pretty easy to enjoy the show!  After the show, we ventured to a Mexican restaurant in downtown Kyiv...one of the very few Mexican restaurants known to the city.  We're not sure if it tasted good because we miss Mexican food so much or if it just tasted good.  Nonetheless, it was a tasty meal!  Here are some pictures from our anniversary adventures...

"Nemo" Dolphinarium

Waiting for the dolphin show to start...
The seal greeted everyone at the beginning of the show!
Showing off their cool jumps
Playing "football"
They trained the dolphins to "paint" by holding a large brush with their snout.
The finished painting!  So cool!
The high jumps!
Dancing with the dolphin trainer!
This one came to say hello to us after the show!  :)
Our self-portrait with the dolphins.  People were getting a professional picture taken, but we didn't understand what was going on and how much you had to pay to get your photo.  So, we took our own.  :)
Andy couldn't resist this photo shot...
Cassie's photo opportunity...


Tequila House Mexican Restaurant

Chips and salsa...almost $7.50!  Not quite like what we are used to when you get unlimited chips and salsa for free!  We were a little disappointed that there were only 15 chips in the basket, too!  :(
Burrito!
Another self-photo opportunity!
