Ukraine... 9 days and waiting.




Greetings!
Still waiting.... We had a glimmer of hope today but no word yet. Elton John got turned down from Ukraine today...We haven't yet. Maybe they spent all their time crafting their denial for him and now they can help us out with a girl :). We visited an Orthodox church complex today including a catacombs filled with dead Orthodox priests and icons...very interesting. And then went to the Russian/German war of 1941-1945 monuments (seems like someone is missing, wonder what Gen. Patton would think of that)
We saw up close the 'mother motherland' statue, very cool. The kids are doing so good and willing to try new things (there are lots of new things to experience). We tried the metro system by ourselves today which we did well. Nothing is in English here so it hard to decipher. Though I learned from my friend Robert that the language is based on Greek so now I look at it differently and i am now picking it up much quicker at least in written form like the metro. The kids are picking up words as well.
Waiting...waiting. We did some school today so it was good to have some normal time.
Hope all is well...
Mark
