I have been here in Odessa for two weeks and spoiling myself eating out at great restaurants every night. The woman I am dating is very cost-aware, which I really like, but I have to smile every time I get the bill, no matter what restaurant we are at. $30-40 for two people at a posh five star restaurant is nothing. I go to the store and get some eggs, butter, bell peppers, mushrooms...stuff to make breakfast with and some bottled water. 80UAH...is that even computable to dollars? $4-5 maybe? It's insane how cheap eating here is. I love it!

Meet kkmail, had lunch and then visited his house. He pulled up to the dropoff in front his house where the beach starts. Maybe 100 yards from the beach and a area designated to be a park in front so no one will ever spoil his view. He turns me around and tells me to guess which house is his. LOL!!! Yeah...it has a decidely American look to it. Beautiful house, pool out in front with a nice builtin outdoor barbecue. Inside is gorgeous, wood work and stone stairs going to the upstairs. His 4 year old son has a jetted tub...talk about spoiled! LOL! And yes, his wife is gorgeous too...

Looking for to the BBQ this summer and meeting the rest of ya'll.
