Friday, April 20 evening

Just before Tom leaves for the train station we get a surprise. We were told that our "people" and Kyiv would purchase our train tickets. Well, for some reason, they could not purchase the train tickets. Remember Wednesday, we wrote about Tom's Ukrainian adventure at the Train's service center? Well, now Cindy was about to have one. Luckily, we were able to get a translator, Anya. She was wonderful. We purchased the tickets then Anya helped Tom and Mark to their train car. Her presense was a blessing. So, we now have train tickets back to Kyiv on April 27. The bad news is that our ride will be about 14 hours. Our train has many stops. We will need to purchase breakfast before we go.

Julie and Cindy met Molly and Jim, who were watching the kids for us, at the hotel. We went to the pizza place for dinner. Matt ordered a large pizza and the waitress did not tell Cindy what he was ordering. Well, guess what he is having for lunch on Saturday! It will be good to get him to America. At least we will be able to understand what he is ordering.

We were tired. The children talked in bed for several minutes then fell asleep. Cindy received a few phone calls then started reading a book.
