We got to sleep in this morning. We are in a new apt. and will be moving to a different one on Sunday. We met Svetlana, our facilitator, in the afternoon and went to the notary to get the paperwork done to request our second SDA appt. That went smoothly and then we got to ride the subway. We didn't ride it far but it was alot of fun. We should know tomorrow when our next SDA appt. is, sometime next week. I have attached a few more pictures and there is one of the looong escalator going down to the subway. Please be praying for our second appt. and that God would show us clearly the girl that will be our daughter.
praying for you Tina - Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, check out:
ReplyDeletethe Chernobyl museum in Kiev. It's cheap and they have handheld "tours" in English. Very interesting.
the Holodomor monument and the WWII monument in the big park past the Lavra (monastery and caves).
the WWII museum in the base of the Rodina Mat statue. It's absolutely amazing and really interested to see WWII from such a different angle.
the president's mansion and the neighboring House with Chimaeras. Not your typical Kiev architecture!
the Taras Shevchenko art museum. Super cheap and indoors, so nice to do on a rainy or cold day. All the exhibits are in English. I'm not an art lover, and I thought it was interesting. Really tells the story of his life, and how he is sort of the most-loved Ukrainian artist. The neighboring park (also by his name) is also nice.
Have fun getting to know your future child's birth-country's history and culture!
My kids LOVED the long escalator in the Metro. The smiles on their faces were great to see!!
