Doris here..


My thighs are still thawing out. It is cold! Thankfully the sun has been out the last two days. The Ukrainine people are hardy and go about their business without regards to the cold.

Both places of residents for the boys are nice. Comfortable, clean, and kid friendly. The officials we have crossed paths with are nice, they smile, we shake hands. Since we don't understand much, we assume the conversations are "normal". Occasionally we will ask Viktor, our facilitator, what they are discussing so we at least know the subject. We just have to trust everyone involved.

Nice having the family here..thankful we can experience this together.
