Unfortunately we were unable to find the church to go to this morning so instead I settled for listen to KLOVE at the internet cafe for a while. We have taken a few pictures of some of the monuments here since the city itself isn't that interesting and mostly there are smokestacks and industrial places. We will walk around and do some window shopping adn such and jsut enjoy the day.
Last night we went to a restaurant by the water that we had been to before. It was nice and had music and such. THe sunset was really pretty too. We went with a couple form Atlanta and a couple from Florida. I miss Rob being here but know he can picture what I'm talking about.
Igor is back from Crimea with a better suntan and a new tatoo (drawn on, not real). He cracks me up. Oooohh to be 22 again. He has more energy than anyone I know. As soonas he got home he went back out to the internet cafe and then I think on a date or something. Glad he is back though. Trying to communicate with our driver, Roman, is pretty comical and half way through we just all laugh and then move on to somehting else we won't understand.
I'm lloking forward to getting rid of a whole bunch of stuff before we actualloy get packed up and get ready to head for Kyiv on Wednesday. The life here is so much more simple and I like that part of it. You don'thave to have lots of stuff and you learn to do without without really realizing you are missing anything. That part I will miss.
Babushka is ready to go home as well. I think it has been a hard trip for her but I feel extremely fortunate to be able to have her with me. Not sure how fortunate she feels to be here though. It isn't a whole lot of fun to be the keeper of the stuff and not being able to communicate very well with those around you. She has been able to find the good in many things and continues to have fun regardless of what or where we happen to be going. Thanks mom!
That's all for now. No humor today; too tired.

Laura,
I pray that this week will go fast and smooth for you. I have been telling everyone in the city of Williamsburg about your adventure and your 3 beautiful sons. Anyone that knows you has said the same thing, "It doesn't surprise me, Laura is so great with children". I have asked many people to be in pray for you this week. Take confidence in the prays and know that there are 3 of you bring the children home, you, your mom and God. What a joy to know God!
Love,
Fran
