We walked to Independence Square yesterday. It wasn't a bad walk. We broke down and ate at the McDonalds. Fortunately, they spoke some English there. The architecture is very nice. We picked up a few things at a little grocery store. (3 separate vendors in what looked like 1 store - so look for multiple cash registers when you shop here!) We happened to pick one where nobody seemed to speak a word of English. The clerks tried to be helpful and we got what we wanted after a lot of pointing and hand gestures. We also found the US Embassy in case Mary gets wild and we need help.
Today, our facillitator took us to a very large mall. Inside the mall was a super 'megastore' that actually had more than any super walmart I've ever seen. (An entire row of just different types of tea, bulk items, clothes, electronics, everything imaginable including 'Tide' and 'Kleenex'.) If it wasn't for the language I would have thought we were in the US. We rode the subway back to the apartment. Never thought I'd ever be riding a Ukrainian subway.
Tomorrow we get down to business. We have our appointment at the Adoption Center (SDA).

You all look a little cold...Praying you stay warm and safe!
If you get a chance while still in Kyiv-post some pictures of the shoes women are wearing this season. I love to see their fashion sense!
