Every now and then I check some of the statistics that the Xanga people generate regarding who visits my blog. I’m always amazed to see that hundreds of people actually visit my site each week. It’s also really neat to see how there are some hits from all over the world. Just the last few days have included Great Britain, Australia, Puerto Rico, and even Hong Kong!

Ever since last fall I have noticed that I consistently see a few hits each week from the Ukraine. Now I’m pretty sure that I don’t know any one in the Ukraine. So, I’m assuming that you are some of Matty’s friends that he was telling me he met during his World Youth Day travels last year. Either he told you about my site or more likely you followed the link from his site to mine. However you got here, I’m glad that you like my blog enough to come back and check out what’s going on in the random life of a Kansas seminarian you’ve never met.

I was thinking the other day that perhaps some of Matty’s friends that he met in the Ukraine (and Poland) would maybe never have gotten to see some of his pictures of you guys together from the trip and maybe you would enjoy having some pictures for the sake of remembering those special days. So, I have uploaded to my photo site all of Matty’s pictures from World Youth Day that I think are of the Ukraine and Poland. If you find them helpful please feel free to let me know by clicking on the “Message Me” link over on the left of this page. I’d also love to know who you are if you’re in one of the pictures. I’ve never met any one from the Ukraine  Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures.
