Arrived!!

Andy and Christine in the hotel. Andy's touching base with an online college course.

Kirk, Andy (our sons) and Christine (Andy's girlfriend) arrived at 4 pm on February 19th. "Glad to see them" is an understatement. For Kirk it was like coming to a second home. For Andy, it was grappling for long ago memories that didn't totally match much with the surrounding scenes of Kyiv and Ukraine, now. Kirk

For Christine, it was all new. An on-the-road breakfast of sandwiches because breakfast food as such is not normally served in Ukraine. Bacon and cheese-flavored peanuts, a soda made from herbs and being pulled over by the police while they tried to intimidate the driver to give them a bribe. She says it's "cool" and "interesting!"

They are here for one very short week and will be flying out next Tuesday.
