Belgorod-Dnestrovsky
| Last weekend (10/25/03) we took our first trip out of Odesa to a town called Belgorod-Dnestrovsky which is an hour and a half south. There is an old fortress there and we spent the day exploring it. |  |
 |
The fortress is on a large body of water, like a lake, but is really the Dnister River before it empties itself into the Black Sea. Very close to the Moldova boarder. |
| It looks
difficult, but there is an easy way around to this overpass. Doug, Guido
and Jim are standing on top.
Doug, a fellow Freedom House volunteer was visiting us from Kyiv. He is an attorney working on a land reform project. |

Fuji with Juul and Guido (both from Amsterdam and volunteers with Doctors Without Boarders) and Doug (like us, another Oregonian working with Freedom House. Well, true confessions: he is from California. We like him anyway!) |

A
very "up-scale" but native lunch for a bunch of volunteers
in a foreign land. Yes, that is caviar and Moldova champagne!
