22nd Received, Ukraine

Ira,  After registering the postcard from you, I looked to see where in Ukraine you are from.  My husband spent time in Lviv when he was in school.  They took a trip visiting Germany, Poland, Ukraine (which was then still USSR) and Hungary.  His trip was in 1989.  When they were in Lviv (which they called Lvov) they attended some type of folk dancing and cultural event. 
Have a great day!
