Hello from Kiev

Yesterday August 24 was Independence Day for Ukraine. They had huge celebrations and fireworks here in Kiev. It was great to see. I haven't seen so many people in one place in a long time.
Tomorrow we travel back to Crimea by train. We are getting used to the train rides now. At first when they told me 15 hours I was worried, now we get in our compartment and make ourselves home like it is just another trip. We are going to pick up Alec first thing, then travel to Kerch to get his new birth certificate. (That is the town he was born in.) Then we will travel back to Simfropol to apply for his passport. The waiting begins again. They say it is taking approx. 10 days at this time, so we will keep our fingers crossed. We are hoping to stay at a resort down at the Black Sea for most of the wait, so that will be nice for a change in scenery.
We enter a update as soon as we find internet access in the town we will be in. We miss everyone............
