The City: Olexandria (Kirovograd Oblast)
From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"For the first time it was mentioned as a Cossacks settlement Ussivka. In 1784 the settlement got the status of a chief town of a district and the name of Olexandrijsk. Later the name was changed into Olexandrija."

Finally we got a good hotel, with a heater that worked!!! We rented a suite with 3 rooms. Got some sleep and were off to the Olexandria orphanage. It was rainy and foggy, and we were told that the school may provide lunch, but we were exhausted and weren't sure about the food we would be served. After the show, we tried to say that we would eat at the hotel, but the nice driector insisted and we were treated to a feast. I took some footage of the kids galley and then our private room where we were served. MMM... doesn't everything look yummy????
