More of Kyiv

We had a very busy day today.



While getting ready for our appointment, we noticed all of the people outside waiting for the bus. Can you imagine how crowded the buses must be in the morning?


















Here's a picture of us just before leaving for our SDA Appointment (will share more on that later)













After a little time with our facilitators, we made the hike to the Reed family's apartment for the afternoon. We had a great lunch and enjoyed just hanging out and getting to know each other.

We all then made the trek back down towards TGI Friday and enjoyed a yummy dinner at cafteria-style Ukrainian restaurant with the Urbans.


We saw some interesting sites while out today.


A hedgehog














An ad for Toy Story 3


















A designer toilet













Dinner with friends














After that we met up with Larry & Erin Lorraine and enjoyed some ice cream while walking around Independence Square.
