First things we saw as we cleared customs was Sveta our facilitator and her husband Igor at the front of the line with flowers for Lorelle and a big sign with our names on it!! After warm hugs, we went out to the icy parking lot (minus four degrees centigrade) and found our 2nd driver Sasha (yes - one car for lugguage & one for us!)
The next fun experience was the grocery store with Sveta in the lead, taking us through the variety of foods, and products, helping us interpret and plan out our menus. We have many new foods to try as well as two kinds of Vodka!! Our quick dinner tonight was delicious bread, butter to die for (78& of something amazing) and great swiss cheese.
We are tired by happy and hope this posts. We get to explore around our apartment which is a short 5 min. walk up from Independence Square which is a gorgeous area - tomorrow with Sveta.
Love to all,
David and Lorelle

Glad to hear that you arrived safely & that vodka is in the mix! (See David, it's not just me!! :) ) Can't wait to hear more--we are all thinking of you!

Say hello to Sveta and Igor for us. Sounds like you have a lot colder weather than we experienced - lucky the McDonald's is underground. Keep your ears open - while at the McDonald's we meet a young couple with 2 very young girls from Columbus, there to adopt a boy in Odesea - we thought we were brave.
