After Odesa, Amy and I took a considerably longer ride -- this time on a train -- to Kiev. Since we got the tickets the same day the only kind of sleeper seats left were the extra cheap variety which required special gymnastics to get into our bunks. On a good note, the whole ride cost just under $11 each, cheaper than the cheapest hostel!
A traditional Russian salad. Primary ingredients: beets and mayo. So many stereotypes confirmed.
Another delicious piece of fried dough with sour cream. Also traditional.
A very popular Russian cake called Napoleon (not to be confused with "Death of Napoleon", an entirely different Russian cake). It consists of layers of dough soaked in condensed milk. 
We interrupt the food blog to bring you a close-up of the Black Sea to finally prove that it is not actually black. 
Back to the food blog. This dish's name translates to "hot". There is another dish whose name is "cold" and is comprised of pieces of meat floating in a meat jelly. It is served cold and in slices, like pie. Katie hates it because it is also very popular in Moldova. Unfortunately, we haven't come across it in our trip.
