Natalia and Eugene went to Sambir and I stayed home. I had contacted Natalya the guide yesterday to see if she would be able to take me to the Lviv market and she called in the midst of my Rohatyn trip to let me know that she could. I relaxed in the morning, checking email etc and then met her out front at 10:30am with a taxi. She is a lovely person. Interesting to talk to and very classy and intelligent. We got dropped off at the market and she helped me talk to the vendors and I got everything that I wanted to buy. I needed some more money but none of the bank machines would accept my card so I had to exchange some euros for hryvny to pay her and to have cash for the taxi back. She only charged 10 dollars an hour and was only going to charge me for two hours but I paid her extra and also took her out for lunch. She drove back in the taxi with me and I spent the rest of the day reading, taking a shower, and generally unwinding. Tomorrow is Poland!!
