On to the Ukraine - the Sub Carpathian Region

Some points written near midnight Wednesday night in Uzhorod.

Early start to get to Slovakian - Ukranian border crossing early after loading all the luggage on to the bus.

Drove through Michaelovtzaand discussed the Orthodox Rabbis Council that in effect split from the Neolog communities.

Crossed border before Uzhorod with no trouble. Long drive past Munkacs (passing by Solotvyna, Kedaniv on the way.


Visit Buhstina during the weekly goose market. Important place of geese in the Sub Carpathian economy and social life. 

On to Hust, visit old synagogues and other Jewish remains.

 Long drive back to Uzhorod, where we eat a wonderful Jewish ethnic dinner in the Chabad Carpathian Community center and pray the evening prayers in the newly renovated Chasidic Shtiebel in Uzhorod. Check into the hotel and write this short outline of today's long hot journey.

Tomorrow devoted to a visit in Uzhorod and a Carpathian Jewish Cooking workshop with Shmil. Better be good, cause that's gonna be our supper!
