When you think of Ukraine, the first thing that would pop into your head is beaches, right? Yeah, I didn't think so. But yes, Odessa does have beaches.
This past Saturday afternoon, Arun asked me what I wanted to do.
"I haven't been to the beach yet!!" was my response, and so we set out; all bundled in scarves and jackets. Now, the middle of November is really not the most ideal time to visit the beach; but that's when I haven't had the chance to go yet, and Arun had already gone when the weather was more pleasant. It's in the high-50's here now, and so yes, it is finally getting cold; but certainly not freezing, and when the sun is out, it's 'brisk' but not unpleasant.
Arkadia beach is flanked by clubs and restaurants and great stores. Only, the season is from May to October, and off-season it's practically a ghost-town. It's only about a mile from our apartment, so we decided to walk it. There were quite a few people walking along the boardwalk. There were dogs running along the beach. And it was really quite nice. And here we are:
You can see why I'm the photographer on our trips; I don't know how Arun managed to capture a huge shadow across my face!
