Out and about in Kiev on our own.

Well we travelled out today on our own, not once, but twice and nothing terrible happened.    OK so we only walked half a block to Dream Town mall but still it counts.    We underestimated how long it would take to grab a bite.   We have a total new appreciation for foreigners who don't speak the language and in Kiev it does seem common to see some English.    The menu we looked at did have some English but it was still a difficult task.   I confused the poor waitress so much that my iced tea with lemon and ginger ended up being a glass of ice with a short glass of pure lemon juice and ginger with no sweetner.   It was really funny and I even confused her enough she didn't get Jon's drink at all.   And we ended up with what we wanted to eat plus an extra pizza.

Well tomorrow at 11AM (4AM east coast time) is our big appointment at the SDA so excited to get things going.    Countdown is on!

Here are some pics of the view from our apartment:

  2. There are no certainties when adopting in Ukraine. However, since our paperwork and been approved so far, we have no reason not to expect to bring Y home.
