Ukrainians Are Having a Delightful Day at the Abandoned Presidential Palace

[chaya]

As the reports continue to trickle in about developments in Ukraine (check in with our live blog here), the grounds of the opulent presidential palace have become the choice destination for Ukrainian protestors and tourists alike. Security has fled, leaving the estate of semi-President Viktor Yanukovych open to the public.

First stop: The Zoo:
