I am heading to the Ukraine, to take a cruise down the Dnieper river on a Viking River cruise called the Footsteps of the Cossacks. The cruise will start in Kiev (Kyev) and end in Odessa.
I chose this destination because I have already visited the Baltic states and Russia. Areas that have fascinating histories and borders that seem to continually change. Although Kiev is considered the birthplace of Russia, Ukraine will turn 20 on August 24th, 2011 right after I leave.
I also wanted to see if Chicken Kiev is the same in Kiev as it is here in the states. I must admit that I have taken a liking to Eastern European/Russian cuisine, but then again, there are not too many cuisines I don’t like or don’t like learning about.
