DEC Camp is very quiet today. All the children and most of the staff left yesterday. This evening, I shall catch the train north to Lviv. For lunch, I ate a local speciality in Luda's cafe; melted cheese in breadcrumbs with pickled gherkins. I would like my last memory of this place to be what a man I passed walking back to camp said to me; “I come from the East of Ukraine where we have no snow, no mountains. I come with my family to sled. Here there is snow, there is mountains, there is mineral water in the rivers. It is very beautiful. I am very positive”.
