Ivano-Frankivsk- Ternopil etc

I am  bit behind on the blogs, I did not have internet access these last few days, here is a quick update with more dtails to come hopefully tomorrow depending on our schedule.
We spent two days in Ivan-Frankivsk, visited the fire hall and were given the royal tour, the Chief gave us each a goodie bag full of mementos including a bottle of vodka looking like a fire extingusher.
After the Fire Hall we toured a Fur coat factory, which was actually very interesting, we saw the construction of a fure coat from start to finish.
The next day Ivano-Frankivsk Rotary put us in the hands a Ukraines top mountain guide and we whisked off into the Carpathian Mountains for two days of mtn hiking and sight seeing etc. next stop was Ternopil for two nights, three days, we had a great visit and made some new friends, the fire hall, fire museum tour was outstanding the Chief and 15 officers served us an amazing lunch.
Today we left Ternopil, another long drive and we have just arrived in Vinnyysta.
Now it is bed time I have been up for14 hours with very little sleep in the past few nights.
More tomorrow,
Bud-mo,
