Packing, planning
The forecast for Kiev this week: 60 degrees. Nice! That sure will beat the Siberia weather we had in February when I was layering three sweaters under my coat--not unlike the children at the orphanage.
So I have a Dora the Explorer coloring book with big crayons, a puppet, some books, Play-doh, a small doll and a few other items for Tara to play with at the apartment and on the plane. I'm running out of room in my suitcase!
Natasha told me today that she is lining up an apartment for us in downtown Kiev, near the square. We should be close to the mall, the outdoor market and other shops. On the weekend, we hope to visit the catacombs where the monks are laid out. Well, Sally wants to crawl through there with those skinny candles, I'll probably stand outside and wait this time...

Hmmm. I didn't know there was crawling involved. Ah, what the heck! You only live once. And there's probably vodka at the other end of the tunnel.
