Our Tuesday night started on the long train to Lviv - 15 hours to be exact. From 9 PM Tuesday to noon Wednesday, we slept, ate and enjoyed conversation with one another.
Wirily we wondered into the Lviv train station and snaked our way to the entrance. Lilya met us there. Lilya would end up being the wife of Ihor who together were starting the IT Orphan Academy. She drove us to the hostel in the center of Lviv. There we experienced the very European life of hostel living. Shad, Grant Adam and I all shared a room with two bunk beds.
After a short rest Lilya picked us up and we went to the proposed site for the IT Orphan Academy. It was a beautiful site on the outskirts of Lviv. A gentleman from the Netherlands had been using it as an orphanage but all his orphan children got older so he was leaving and wanted to sell the facility. It was custom-made to have several children on one of five floors.
There were five orphans that had made their way to the house (one via 30 hour train ride) and we together enjoyed a night of laughing, games and fellowship with these young men that would be potential students for the Academy.
The end of the day was a quick tour around the city center. The city is a beautiful old European style City. We enjoyed the fountains the old buildings and taking many pictures.
