Oh happy days, the weekend
Judy is handling this waiting much better than I.
I feel like I am in a prison and get to come out for 90 minutes 2 times a day to visit with family (our kids).
Walking around is unbelievably depressing. We have one street which is about 6 blocks long. Our day consists of walking up and down this street for internet and groceries and then to the orphanage and then back to our apartment. Then at night we watch Ukrainian tv which if we are lucky we get to see last years episodes of Desperate Housewives or the Simpsons (in Ukrainian of course). They have a video channel which sometimes shows American entertainers like Prince, Gwen Stefani and Black Eyed Peas.
You don't really want to walk to far to discover new parts of town because you have no idea where or what you will be walking into, I am constantly walking around on edge waiting for someone or something to jump out at you.
I really feel for these people though. I can't imagine how they can live this way. Americans are incredibly spoiled.
The lady whose apartment we are staying in is amazingly nice. She is always cleaning when we are away, she is giving us warmer coats and doing everything she can to make us feel comfortable.
We have only been here 6 days and it feels like 6 years. The good news, only another 25 days or so, woo hoo!!!!
Ok, enough whining!
