 The pilgrims made so many new friends, they also had a chnce to meet local authorities of villages and local businessmen who responded to coming of “Pilgrim” and helped to organize the entertaining program. Due to their help the guys could visit dolphinarium, the Opera House, circus, aquapark and went to see military boats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and rode water surfs in Wake Park.

The pilgrims also visited some city excursions; they walked a lot around Odessa. They visited main sightseeing. At the very end the pilgrims gave as good as one gets – they have prepared a farewell program with contests and gifts for locals and guests of the city.
