Still waiting. We have nothing to do but explore Kiev. I (Larry) realize this blog right now is sounding more like a travel blog than an adoption blog. Saturday we went to the Kiev Zoo, which wasn't too bad. It covers a lot of ground and looks like an older zoo. They appear to be working on refurbishing various exhibits. The boys were quite 'taken' with the dead chicks they feed the raptors. They have a quite nice exhibit of various kinds of eagles and hawks. We got a bit lost coming out of the zoo. We were looking for the Metro station but it was on the opposite side of the road. We started down the street the wrong way, turned back, crossed the road, and proceeded to walk by it again. Mary was looking for stairs leading down so never would have found it. We were lucky Larry saw the Metro doors. We didn't see the 'M' sign and this station looks like any other building except for those plain 'Metro' doors . Our 'long way' to the Metro took us past some very interesting street vendors (saw some raw fish and meats being sold). .
Sunday we went to Lavr. Our facilitator arranged for a English speaking guide to take us into the caves. It was all quite interesting. We also walked to the War Museum (thanks Lisa) which is nearby. The boys liked the tanks, cannons, etc. and really liked climbing on the tanks and cannons that are set up for that purpose. Last night it seems an outlet burned out. It had the TV and DVD player plugged into it. They quit working so we thought we blew a fuse again but didn't. The plug and outlet were very hot and smell like something was burning. We hope it will be fixed today.
Hope we hear something soon.
