The Boiko Connection: A Great Adventure!
http://boikoconnection.blogspot.com/2008/08/great-adventure.html
Angle in the Woods. Primitive Boiko wood carving. Monday, August 25, 2008. The girls took me under their wings and showed me interesting sights in Lviv as well as taking me to the Ethnographic Museum and several book stores to find some English books. They pointed out the former home of Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch, for whom the term masochism was coined. I was amused to find out that he used to beat his wife whenever she refused to whip him. A marrigae made in heaven! It has been my experience that Ukraini...

The Boiko Connection: Reflections
http://boikoconnection.blogspot.com/2008/09/one-week-later.html
Angle in the Woods. Primitive Boiko wood carving. Saturday, September 6, 2008. It's been more than 2 months since I boarded the plane in Lviv to come back to my life in Philadelphia. I think about the second trip to my genetic crock pot often. People and places pop into my head at unexpected moments and I find myself smiling at memories of frail yet feisty Catherine, bigger than life Yaraslav and charming Yura- not to mention the lovely Natalya.

The Boiko Connection: August 2008
http://boikoconnection.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Angle in the Woods. Primitive Boiko wood carving. Saturday, August 30, 2008. It's a long day's night. The rest of my trip was long and almost uneventful. In New York, customs took one look at me (tired and bedraggled) and waved me through, unaware of my sticky contraband. I made the last limo to Philly and traveled for 3 hours to arrive home at 2:30 am, to find that Alexander had accidently locked me out of my house and, unfortunately, I didn't have the right key! Friday, August 29, 2008. Tomorrow a cont...

The Boiko Connection: Quick trip to Kolymia
http://boikoconnection.blogspot.com/2008/08/quick-trip-to-kolymia.html
Angle in the Woods. Primitive Boiko wood carving. Sunday, August 24, 2008. Quick trip to Kolymia. Yuraslav woke me at 6 am to start our journey to the Carpathians. Michael, Irene and Natalya were going back to Zhuravno so I gave them big, grateful hugs-I will miss all of them! And Catherine, oh sweet, dear Catherine! I hope to see her one more time on this earth. It is amazing how these Ukrainian women manage to create the feasts they do in their very spartan kitchens. Usually they have only a stove,...

The Boiko Connection: Relaxing in Lviv
http://boikoconnection.blogspot.com/2008/08/relaxing-in-lviv.html
Angle in the Woods. Primitive Boiko wood carving. Tuesday, August 26, 2008. I decided to stay in Lviv today and went to the Art Museum which has an excellent collection of religious icons. The Ukrainians were very good painters as early as the 15th century. I was tickled to see how much I understood just by sounding out the letters. Words like apostle, Mark, Paul, etc. sound the same as English. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Back to the Source. In July 2006, my son and I journeyed to Western Ukrain...

The Boiko Connection: Last post in Ukraine
http://boikoconnection.blogspot.com/2008/08/last-post-in-ukraine.html
Angle in the Woods. Primitive Boiko wood carving. Friday, August 29, 2008. Last post in Ukraine. As we traveled around Lviv, I noticed bridal parties all over the place. Leysia explained that it is a Ukrainian custom to take photographs at various monuments and scenic vistas. Most couples are married twice-once at City Hall and again in a church ceremony. Wishing you good travels and a safe home. August 29, 2008 at 6:14 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Back to the Source. In July 2006, my son and ...

The Boiko Connection: Success on the road
http://boikoconnection.blogspot.com/2008/08/success.html
Angle in the Woods. Primitive Boiko wood carving. Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Success on the road. Today I traveled to Sambir, a large town about 1 hour south of Lviv. This was quite a feat since I had to navigate transportation systems (bus and taxi) and the language itself, having no relatives to fend for me. I can't get over how friendly and helpful Ukrainians are. I think it is very important to them that visitors see their country in a positive way. I have not had one problem. I'm glad you found the...
