Ukraine Trek Day 1 - Flight to Warsaw

By Steve Richards

​Yesterday I started the Ukraine trek from Boston to Warsaw, where I’m going to pick up transportation to Lviv. It was a pretty good flight, went through JFK and London, got into Warsaw, and then I trekked/walked to the Holiday Inn. It was a really interesting walk—I passed through a very first-world country obviously, it is in the heart of Europe. And at the same time, probably the most striking thing that I remember was what looked like a Soviet-era graveyard with these massive structures, and a very large area full of numbered graves, a few headstones here and there. But they were too big to include in the posts that you’ll see in today's video, but we’ll certainly include them in the finished documentary. Obviously Soviet-era, World War II. But then I went into the city and it was just a beautiful place. I had a lovely meal, nice hotel, and in the morning I’ll be heading to Lviv.
