No hurry, but what's the story behind this photo?

In the days with Peter in Kiev in 2008, while we were waiting for the flight home, we went to Independence Square where all of the street bands were, where we went in 2005 with the five other kids the night before leaving. [MS--Independence Square was the site of the Orange Revolution in 2004, when at times a million people gathered to protest.]

Peter and I went and there was a falconer. For a price, you could get a picture. For less of a price, you could get a picture on your own camera. We did it. It might even have been the day before we left, but we were down there in the evening, and this looks like daytime. After we bought the plane tickets, the day before we left, we went out for “coffee” at a nice little bakery at the top of the hill (not at the square), and then went down to the square for a little farewell thing . . . .
