Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Smith, what’s the Internet situation like? Using coffee shop WiFi? How does the police presence compare with Canada? Any drunken homeless? We have a new mantra: Bing-a-Vin. Might make for a good wine label. Vinny, get a trademark for us, quickly before the word gets out. 😉 O0 Just got back from a d...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

😂 Oh, that has to be your new avatar, Vinny 😂 Classic case of the picture being able to lie! Plus, I am the polar opposite of you when it comes to changing avatars. You are extremely frequent while I'm once every two, three, or more years. Finally, would you prefer to be loved or trusted? 77362105-...

Our next visit will be Vinnystia. I keep telling Vin he needs to return to the town he founded and clean that place up, but so far no answer. Our next visit will be Vinnystia.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

So is the local hotel full of colorful blankets that look like grandma knitted them, or do the furnishing look like a western hotel? I originally wasn’t going to share this, but since you asked I can’t resist. This is the hotel room my fiancé and I ended up staying in in Lviv. No, I’m not joking. A...

Great fake ID, Mr Trump O0 I love the rubber duckies in the tub. What is that, soup? My wife wants to know. I thought maybe the sign by the pizza (right-hand side) meant little cake* but Google translate says Galician? Galician legend? Interesting. Thank you for taking the time to post these 🙏 Edit...

(Just updated with a couple more pics :)) That transparent roof is neat!

This would work for him O0 It's definitely a cool cafe. On...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

We just arrived in Lviv. Closer to the war front than before in Mukachevo but, still reasonably safe. Air sirens happen regularly here, but actual damage is relatively rare. I’m in another cafe, but will post more substantively when I reach the hotel. IMG_4257.jpeg IMG_4262.jpeg IMG_4269.jpeg (Just ...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Smithers, what makes the coffee amazing? Re. your signature: What is the other 1% ? Just curious! Stay safe and don't get constipated. Perhaps buy ear plugs and nose closer clips for everyone? :-) The coffee is much stronger on average than in North America and there’s lots of unique takes on flavo...
