Amy is a friend that I met before we departed for Ukraine. We connected over a Peace Corps Ukraine, Group 41 Facebook group. We meet up for coffee and went to each other's going-away parties. It was great already knowing someone when we took off. She is now living in Luhans'k, the Eastern part of Ukriane. She made the 16 hour train ride down to Crimea for Christmas. We spent a few days in my town where we had a birthday party to attend and several Christmas celebrations around town, and then we headed to Simpferopol for Christmas day with many other volunteers.
It was Igor's (my Russian tutor's husband's birthday), and we were invited to the celebration.

The House of Culture hosted a Christmas show for the kids. Father Frost gave each kid some candy.
