The day before court

It's been another good day!

We visited Graceland this morning. Elvis was wearing an interesting (girly) hat. Zack thinks he must have been in the bathroom when they were handing out the hats this morning.

He had this little beat-up broken telephone that he insisted on toting around today.

Since we've mentioned Graceland's gates so much, thought it would be good to give you all a glimpse of them. You can see our driver, Misha, waiting just outside.

While our trip to the beach last week was about a 30-minute drive, we knew our apartment was closer than that to some other beaches. So we went on a mission today to find the beach.

We walked. And walked. And walked some more.

You never know what you might see while walking around town. Please note: we did NOT go in this store :)

We found another market, and walked around. Notice the little fish hanging up. William thought it smelled great. I thought I was going to throw up.

We found a little toy shop there and bought several more boxes of "Bricks" (Lego knock-offs). So cheap, and just as good! William was thrilled.

We thought this statue looked like Poseidon. Zack figured that might mean we were getting close to the water. Wishful thinking?...

The Poseidon statue and this guy were in what looked to be an abandoned park.

Just beyond the park, we found this Turkish Islamic mosque.

This little 'hut' was outside the mosque gates.

About 20 minutes later, look what we found! We knew following people in bathing suits was a good sign.

The beach in this area is very narrow, and you have to walk across the train tracks to get to it.

Just after we walked back to the street side, a train came.

And apparently this guy thought it was a great way to travel!

A really cool restaurant just across the street from the beach

A beachside restaurant (The Santa Barbara Cafe & Bar)

We began walking back, and decided to go a different way from how we'd gotten there.

We walked. And walked. And walked. Almost all uphill this time.

We saw the Metalurg Sanitorium. A little scary.

Saw some cool buildings in this part of town, a part of the city we'd never seen before.

Had to get a picture of more Ukrainian fashion. Her heels were HUGE, and she was dressed very nicely. He was sporting a 'stylish' muscle shirt in neon yellow, and of course, a man purse.

This sign is about every 20 feet on the main street here, advertising a jewelry store.

Mr. Muscles (by the way, we've taught Elvis to flex his arms and say "Muscles!")

Please be in prayer about our court hearing on Tuesday morning at 11 AM local time (4 AM EDT). Pray that it will go smoothly and there won't be any issues.
