Day 5 - Independence Square - Kiev, Ukraine

Wow, I can't believe it's my fifth day here and I finally got to spend some time in Independence Square...

I was just a lost for words... While there are areas of destruction and signs of battles, I felt real safe.  An abundance of Ukrainian flags, music, and an atmospheric ambiance of pride was all here.  I literally stood in one spot for almost an hour just allowing the energy of this site to permeate my soul...

Soldiers walking around, eating, chatting... Reporters with their camera crews recording videos... Me, standing there, trying to imagine what happened at this very spot... Acknowledging what happened in the past, living in the present, and providing hope for the future...

My words cannot do this justice... See for yourself and try to imagine...
