Odessa!! Ballet night!

This on our way to the Opera House:
 The main street on our way to see Sleeping Beauty
 So excited...
 Afton and Alexis, Sitting in a cafe all dressed up ready to go to the ballet.
 Mallory, ready for a night at the Opera house.
 Me and Alexis walking to the Opera house.
 The grandeur of this place takes your breath away.
 Like something from a world away that could be real in a fairytale.
 Back row:Mallory,Me, Kylie, Alexis, Cherish, Erika S, Afton, Second row:Hanna, Jenna, Alisha, Samantha
Front:Erika W.

 Alexis, Looking like she is ready for romance...to bad that's not allowed.
 Artistry of this place: Angels surround you as enter though doors that could be the entrance of heaven.
 The style and class of the building were breathtaking,
 The stage, before the show even started looked like something made for a king's court.
 The ceiling told a story of tragedy, love, and betrayal.
 Sorrow and forever longing connecting to the very earth.
 Gold and white captured the light like something celestial.
 And the deep burgundy  brings a kind of sinister feel to it. making it the unconstitutional theater.
 Everyone woman was different.
 Every corner was filled with an artist work.
 The lights make me think of a fairy trapped in an a elegant jar.
 Yes I was really there.

 Me and Mallory.

 Just the overlay above my head.
 Samantha and Cherish
 Phantom.

 This was my seat number.
 View from my seat.
 The live orchestra getting ready for the second act.

 Sheet music
 Conductors podium.
 Sheet music to Sleeping Beauty.
 Curtains closed for intermissions.
 8 violins.

 That's me, in the Opera house of Odessa.
 Better picture of the grand ceiling
 Top of the curtain, 3 mask.
 View from the stage.
 Just the front door.
 Fire place.
 Me, Afton, Kylie, Alexis. on the grand staircase.

 Me
 Me and Alexis
 Look up. It's worth it.


 Top of the stairs to the very best suits.

 Dramatic.

 The outside.

 OK the camera settings are weird but bear with me... This is Hanna in the sleeper train.
 Me in the sleeper train in my PJ's
 Better picture of Hanna, with the awkward shelf....
 Where all our stuff fit we were top bunkers...
 Stupid shelf...why it didn't fold up? I have no clue...
 Yeah, try moving around in a foot wide bed with that thing sticking out in my space I hit my head just a few times...
 Yes that's gum...Some peoples children...
 Hanna's side. Yeah just ewww.
 But me and Hanna are happy anyway, cuz we are freaking in Ukraine on our way to the BLACK SEA!
 After 9 hours on a train and we arrive!! This is the train station. Cool huh?
 Yeah I didn't zoom back out...Hanna looks pretty though so I kept it.
 There we all are! After a long train ride all night I think we don't look that bad...shut up.
 Where we had breakfast...of course by the time we got all got food it was past lunch time...but it was pretty good food, and the waiter wasn't to bad to look at Alex was his name... Not Elexua...Ha ha
 When you walk out of the Hostel this is the lovely street.
 I just love all the old style buildings...
 Mixed with the new style...It's so me.

 Ok this is where you enter the gates of death... leave your soul at the door.(creepy)
 The Main street and park!
 I love street lights and cobble stone!
 The entrance to the mall
 The mall...Yeah what's your local mall look like?
