Hello Everyone!! Greetings from the Ukraine!
Its been a busy day of a walking tour and shopping. We have seen some really beautiful churches. We climbed to the top of a bell tower, it was the tallest spot in Kiev. We have lots of pictures. We purchased some gifts from
little market stands. I am getting good at bartering.. especially if you shop in large quantity!!
Andy wanted me to add a note on his :special find: He has purchased a set of stacking Colts dolls. First one the guy had sold. Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Clark and Rhodes. He is very excited about it!!!!!!
Last night we stayed in and watched DVDs... had to see some thing in english! We tried to cook our own dinner, tortellini, and used what we now know is a decorative glass cover for the stove top. Needless to say ... it blew up. Live and learn, we will be buying them a new one... tee hee.
Tomorrow we leave Kiev. We are traveling by train thru the night to Zaporizhzhya. We will arrive on Monday and I think we have an apartment there. I am fully confident that Gene will take good care of us. He and his staff are very watchful of where we are and what we are doing.
The food here is good.. we did have Mcdonalds today. It was about the same as home. For dinner tonight Andy is eating Borscht soup and waiting on his pork ribs. I am having chicken on a skewer with Georgian spices. It's very tasty, I had it hear last time.
We miss you all very much. Love you Emma!!!! We will talk to you all again when we get to the new region and find WIFI again!!! Hug Emma for us!!!!!

Very cool to find Colts stacking dolls half way around the world. It might be the 2nd best thing you come home with.
Love, Lisa
Hi mom, Hi dad,
I had a good day today. Grandpa dug up a big worm and a grub today when he put in the yard light. I go to the Children's museum tomorrow with baby dana and her mommy and grandma. Is baby brother therew yet?
I love you mommy,
I love you daddy,
Love, EMMA
We can't believe that Uncle Andy found Colts dolls. Do people in the Ukraine actually WATCH the Super Bowl, or any other games in the NFL???? Hmmm...
Have fun shopping!!!
So, you blew up your stove! I bet your landlords loved that. Crazy Americans. hmmmmmmm.....Colts dolls. No comment.
Hi Sally and Andy.
It's Tuesday so by now you have probably already met your son - that is so incredibly cool! I hope things are going well. Tom is ready to take all the pictures you want once you are all back home.
Take care,
Leslie
Your Dad called me last night - How AWESOME! Can't wait to see pictures of the little guy! Keep Safe!
p.s. Mark wants to know if they have Green Bay Packers stacking dolls? You know him - Die Hard Packer Backer - he's sure those are SOLD OUT, b/c they are in high demand!
Love Ya!
