Historic Odessa




We putzed around historic Odessa yesterday. The weather has been incredible here. I swear it felt like 60 degrees F. And today as well. We are so lucky, this has been their mildest winter in 500 years! But I think our weather luck is going to change. It looks like we are in for some 20 degree F. days ahead.

Odessa has the largest Opera house in all of Europe. It is really incredible! The pictures just don't do it justice. Inside there is a crystal chandelier that weighs over 1 ton! Also some pictures of Odessa harbor, the picture is taken from the top of the Potomkin steps. Also a picture with Admiral Potomkin.

We had a nice sushi dinner right across from the Opera house. Downtown Odessa is really pretty with it's cobblestone streets and great architecture.
