To all,
The day started out with a Bang. At the stroke of midnight fireworks were set-off right next to where we are staying in honor of Independence Day.
They block off the major roads around Independence Square (where we are staying) during this Holiday period. There were lot's and lot's of people out today and some great people watching. I will say in general the people here are far more fashion conscious than Americans and they do wear some of the most impractical and darling footwear.
We were on our own today and where able to navigate grocery shopping in 4 different stores and were successful everywhere with a combination of Russian and some English. We have stocked the fridge since our friend will be here tomorrow. As much as I have itchy feet and would love to be on the move I bow down to Mr. Practical and will do what is easiest as it seems unlikely that with a Ukranian citizen we can cross over into any of the bordering countries.
Please know that we are so grateful for all the help received from back home in the states till this point regarding various technological, communication and other needs that we have had.
We are looking forward to seeing Olga and actually walking around all the sights. Based on experience I will take tons of pictures since I do not think that we plan on being back on this side of the world for a long while.
As we seem to have a lot of time on our hands we should be able to figure out how to upload pictures in the next couple of days.
Much love,
Audrey & Andy
