Saturday July 18th

Hi,
We started our morning off at the market to pick up candy, chocolate and drinks for the kids at the orphange. They just huddle around when new people come all eager to see what you have brought. We got there and Nina passed it all out for them and then we were granted permission to take Nina for 1 1/2 hours to the park across the street. We brought a blanket and computer and sat and showed her pic's of our family and friends and dogs and cars and vacations. Then she discovered how to take pictures and she loved that. She also loves pringles...We had to have back at 12:30 and she wouldnt return to the orphanage till Sunday and we were invited by friends we have met to have dinner at their summer home. So we went...we also invited Aloyna (Nina's sister). The meal was wonderful it was traditional Ukrainan meal which consisted of all fresh veggies, meats and fellowship. It was a very relaxing evening we ate dinner under grapevines in the garden and you couldn't tell it was 90 degrees. We left and took Aloyna home and went back to the apartment and crashed as we had no INTERNET still. The internet is a vital link to our family and friends and it is no fun without it.
Love
Jeff and Donna
