In Kiev

We've made it from Syracuse, Indiana to Kiev, Ukraine. I'll let the photos tell the story.


All packed up and ready to go.



Ready to take off from O'Hare. Julie's parents drove us to Chicago and we stopped in at our favorite Persian restaurant for lunch before we hit the airport.


Switching flights in Germany. During our two hour layover we played a new game Stan brought along: Roll Through the Ages. It made the wait go so fast. For you northern Morocco people: we got coffee at the Movenpick cafe that was in the airport terminal.



We were met at the airport by our facilitator who brought us to the apartment we'll be renting for the next three days. It looks like a palace inside. It's hot in Kiev - in the upper 90's and humid - but we've got A/C in this great apartment.
We also have internet access and we got online and got in touch with the Blakers. We plan to spend tomorrow hanging out with them.
Whew! Well it's been a good first few steps of our journey and we're ready to catch up on some sleep. Thanks for all your prayers.
