We were invited to dinner tonight at the home of our Ukrainian interpreter Liza. Her husband, Yuri, lived in Prypiat as a child and was 12 years old at the time of the accident. His father worked at Chernobyl until 1994. He showed us pictures he had taken of his home, school and the places they used to go before the accident. His parents were also at the dinner so Linda and I had an opportunity to ask them what it was like to live there at the time of the nuclear accident. It was a beautiful city to live in before the accident, good jobs and lots of young families. Here is a picture of Lize and her family.
