First full day in Kiev!

We have had an uneventful day today.  We slept until about 10am.  A, our facilitator, was shocked we didn't sleep until 3.  He came to our apartment about three to go get us set up with internet though our apartment does have it as well.  Then we went to eat at a Ukrainian restraurant very near our room.  We had our first Ukrainian borchsh.  It was surprising good considering I dislike half the ingredients!!  The bread is amazing.  If we do lose any weight while we are here it will be due to all the walking.  Everything seems to be uphill!!  Well, half of everything! LOL
Later, Jeff and I plan to walk down to the McDonalds that we found last night.  Not because we missed it but it is always interesting to see something that is everyday in the US in a new place.  Wondering if they serve the same things...........frappe?? I miss those already!!

We went to the market and bought fruit.  The peach I ate for breakfast was amazing.  I rarely eat those at home.  The tomatoes look fabulous but I haven't tried one yet.

We have walked quite a bit already, but that seems to be the best mode of transportation.  Hope I lose a few pounds!! I am thinking I should have trained at home especially being out in this heat.  They are having unusually hot weather.  They need rain badly! A. said that it is suppose to be cooler next week.  We can hope!  It was blazing hot at home and I was looking forward to cooler weather.  I packed only one pair of shorts.  However, in looking at how the girl dress here....I should have brought more skirts.  My skirts wouldn't be nearly as short as seems to be acceptable around here.  We have seen some scandalously short skirts and see through clothing!  Even on fluffy girls like me!! 

Anyway, all is well here.  To the SDA tomorrow....I am trying not to be nervous as A suggested.  He said there is nothing to worry about at all.  Guess worry accomplishes nothing anyway..it is all in God's hands! He has our children all picked out!
