Welcome to our Luxury Hotel....

Ok, call me sarcastic. I can handle the truth. :) :)

Mel and I went for a walk to the city center on Monday. This is what we saw. All of these photos were taken on one corner. I know the direction is not quite accurate, but it's so hard to tell which way is west here (there are no mountains on the west to get my bearings! ha ha)

Photo one, well call it the South View. Notice the color of the building. A nice cheerful Soviet brick reddish color:
Photo two, we'll call it the North/Northeast View. Wouldn't you like to live in building South View and have building North/Northeast View as your neighbor? :)By the way, I really like the little guy crossing the street sign. I'm not being sarcastic - the street signs look much more animated here than in the States, and I think they are cute. And colorful.

Photo three, we'll call it the West View. Seriously, this is only a very small part of this building, down the street aways, on the right side of the street. That building must be as long as the whole city block, this is just the end of it. It has never been finished and the other side of it (which faces a major street) looks like a scene from an old WWII movie.Notice tiny part of the building on the far left, it is Photo four building!

Photo four, we'll call it the West/Southwest View. Right across the street from the previous photo. Remember, these were all taken from the same corner, I just turned in a circle to take the photos. Voila! Welcome to our luxury hotel, right in the heart of downtown Kherson:

Did you happen to notice all the gray?
No wonder I struggle with depression in the winter months.
I just love that cheerful little guy crossing the street blue sign!
