Lviv, Ukraine


An administrative building in Lviv


The auditorium in the University of Lviv where the plenary session for the teacher's conference was held.  This university building was gorgeous and was originally the parliament for the Ukraine province when Lviv was under the rule of the Austrian-Hungarian empire.  The classrooms in the building were up-to-date with projectors and computers for presentations and classroom lectures.


One of the lecture rooms at the university of Lviv.  The oval seating arrangement accommodated abount 30 people and each participant at the table had a microphone.

The interior of the Strudel House in Lviv. (In an earlier post, Frank shared a photo of the exterior.) 


Poppyseed strudel with ice cream served at the Strudel House in Lviv.  Frank and I shared it, and it was as delicious as it looks.  Strudels in this part of the world are different from the ones in Slovenia.  There is only crust on the exterior.

This was a Tex Mex restaurant in Lviv owned by Mike from Denver (really Castle Rock).  Considering the lack of availability of supplies and Mexican food staples, the food was surprisingly tasty.

The Lviv Opera House interior.  Our last night in Lviv, Frank and I went to see The Elixir of Love.  It was a great production with a wonderful orchestra and high quality singers.  The set was exquisite even though it was obviously accomplished without much funding.  It looked like a Monet painting.


Lviv Opera House - it is modeled after the Opera House in Vienna.

  1. What kind of hot sauce/beer did they have at the mexican restaurant? You guys look pretty cute! Looks like despite the icy streets/sidewalks, Lviv was a fun place to explore. Those ice sculptures remind me of the ones in Breckenridge.
