A Jaunt to Ukraine's Ternopil (with stops in Zakarpattia & Ivano-Frankivsk) 

31. August - 2. September 2021. Ukraine. Transcarpathian / Zakarpattia / Zakarpatska Oblast (Закарпатська область), Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (Івано-Франківська область), Ternopil Oblast (Тернопільська область).
Took a slow drive from Romania up to Ternopil, stopping at an Austro-Hungarian marker indicating the center of Europe, Ivano-Frankivsk, a memorial for the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, some old Soviet bus stop.
Spent two days exploring Ternopil, one of the major cities of Western Ukraine, with particular attention to socialist modernist architecture.
