Saturday

Yesterday afternoon, our facilitator, Zhenia, took us around Kiev in the City Centre. Very busy area. We walked all over for about 5 hours. It was really nice. The weather was just cool enough for a light jacket. As we were going into a market, Zhenia received a phone call from a friend of his. He gave the phone to me and it was our friend, Vicky, who was across the street at TGIF. They spotted us through the window! So we walked over and sat with them for awhile. It was good to see her. She is leaving today to go home. He showed us many monuments and exhibition halls, a park area overlooking Kiev and we did a little shopping. We ate dinner at the Fat House. We did pretty well by pointing. Came home and settled in for the night.

We were able to Skype with some friends and David's parents. It's really nice to be able to do this and I highly recommend if for those of you coming over soon.

Before we left the states, David went to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis. He got a steroid shot and an antibiotic shot and is feeling better than he did. But, he has a horrible cough that sounds really bad. Caleb also has a bit of a congested cough. So, today we are staying in and resting. Hoping David will get to feeling better with more rest. Our flat is very cold and we do not know how to turn on the heat. I hope we get this figured out today.

We are on our own for the weekend. So, we will likely not venture too far from our flat. With David not feeling great, I will be trying my best to be creative (hard for the creatively challenged!) in an attempt to keep the boys entertained.
