We arrived in Kiev around 3:00 local Kiev time. After two plane rides, we finally landed. We slept some on the first fight over the big pond, then we landed in London. We had a two hour layover, then had a three hour flight to Kiev. After we arrived, we had dinner, unpacked then crashed for about 10 hours to catch up on much needed sleep. (I had began my day on Friday at 4:45am, since I couldn't sleep and finished getting stuff done before we left.)

Today, we went to an English speaking church and had lunch downtown. We walked, walked, and walked all day today. We enjoyed the sight-seeing. We climbed 209 steps up the bell tower at St. Sophia's church. The views of the city from the top were great. The city seems to go on and on from every direction. We enjoyed some ice-cream at Freedom Square and did a little shopping at a shopping center.

Tomorrow we will have our appointment at the State Department of Adoption, commonly known as the SDA. So, for now we are relaxing while watching a movie, eating yummy fresh strawberries, and having tea.
