A Visit to a Ukrainian Restaurant

We arrived in the temple president's van that we have converted into a 10 passenger vehicle by adding two chairs to the back luggage area--a rumble seat!  We had a great drive around the city as Pres. Galbraith tried to find the location.  It was the perfect end of our preparation day.  


This is the front of the restaurant with one of the waiters standing by the pig statue.  It looked as quaint as it was inside.  They also have outdoor eating in a garden setting.  The food was Ukrainian and the menu was obviously for tourists like us.  We had a great time selecting and eating our good food. 


We were excited to see moonflowers (right) in their gardens.  The hill behind the white van covers an underground portion of the restaurant!

These musicians were very entertaining.  The man on the accordion could whistle through his spaced teeth making bird songs.  The singer had a wonderful tenor voice.  We always applauded and tipped them to come and sing a song for Pres. Christiansen's birthday.  They sang several songs!
