In August I went on a trip to Ukraine to celebrate 100 years of PLAST, a Ukrainian Scouting Organization I belong to. Because I was worried about theft, I borrowed my dad's point and shoot. Now that I have been to Ukraine, I feel comfortable enough to bring my DSLR next time.
It was interesting using the point and shoot. The zoom blew. After zooming in a bit, things would just have poor quality, but I managed deal with what I had and just had fun with it.
I got to see the the western parts of Ukraine. Kyiv, Ivan- Frankivsk, Kaniv, Carpathian Mountains, and Lviv. The Carpathian Mountains reminded me of Hunter, NY. Just beautiful scenery.
While there I met up with family. What an awesome experience. I was the first of my family to go back to the village and see family. I got to see the property where my grandfather was born. All the family welcomed me with open arms. It got overwhelming sometimes because all they wanted to do was hang out with me and my trip to Ukraine was to do other things as well, but I love them.
Over all, I loved my first trip. It will not be my last. I can't wait to go back.
