We're in Kiev!
By way of Munich and Oktoberfest...
Along with some friendly Oktoberfestians ...
Before we headed back to the airport and caught a Santa Claus Convention ...
We managed to make it to Kiev just in time for the Stalker Fest (http://www.kyivpost.com/guide/sevendays/spec/49848), but got back to our hotel before Independence Square was fully packed with people in gas masks.
We're missing the kids, but glad to be in Kiev.
