We're back from Ukraine!! What an amazing trip. I was so excited to be back. Olga, Vitaly and Anya met us at the airport. It was so fun to see them and to meet baby Masha. The people at customs were so nice and we were amazed at how comfortable we felt the minute we stepped off the plane. I think it made a big difference knowing what to expect as we cleared customs and went to pick up our luggage. Olga and Vitaly took us to the Mission Home where we stayed until we left for Kiev a few days later. The Fry's were traveling with their two daughters who had come to visit from America. Anya couldn't stay with us because she had to go see if she could pick up her passport. She was planning to go to Kieve to apply for a Visa as soon as she could get her passport. 
The first morning when we woke up Bruce and I went for a walk. We found ourselves at McDonalds and as we sat there Bruce commented how it "felt like home". It really did feel like we never left. Olga called to see if we wanted to meet up and go for a walk together so we all met at McDonalds then walked to the park near our old apartment. It was still pretty cold outside but we really enjoyed our walk. The Fry's came home later in the evening and we met their daughters Denise, and Jeanette.
