UKRAINE...finally

We packed just a few things! Very different going this trip; staying longer & 3 women going.

  This is a HUGE plane! It has a 2nd story! I have never seen a plane this big, much less flown on one. It was very nice, like all of our flights with Lufthansa have been. The girls were totally amazed & couldn't wait to watch movies on their personal monitors.

We are FINALLY in Kiev! It doesn't seem real! So far everything has been amazing. We arrived Monday, March 11th, and Valery surprised us and took us straight on to the orphanage. We were trying to surprise Daniel, but there were too many little faces peeking out the window. Since we came in December, they all remembered us & immediately began running through the orphanage yelling "Bill! Kim!", so Daniel wasn't too surprised. It felt so good to hug him again!

Sisters & brother reunited @ last!

Our apartment is awesome. It's near Independence Square and walking distance to about anything you could need. There's a McDonald's just across the street & the entrance to the metro (subway) is just steps from our building.
