DAY 6 - TRIP TO KOLOMYIA

Some people in our tour group had told us there was a not-to-be-missed bazaar, with authentic Hutsul hand-crafts, in Kolomyia, about 150 miles south. I had wanted to visit Ivano-Frankivs'k (I just liked the name), and it was on the way to Kolomyia, so Dad agreed to have Ivan drive us there, and Father Ken made arrangements for guides and accommodations.

We had an early breakfast, and Ivan picked us up around 7:30. The actual distance we wanted to travel that day did not seem like much, but between the poor roads and our frequent stops, it took us all day to reach our destination.

In every village we passed, there was a shiny new church. I had to shoot this from the moving car, as Ivan did not understand the concept of tourism, and I had not yet figured out how to get him to stop.
