Let there be sun!

We have finally seen some SUN!!! It is amazing how all the disgusting smells and sights don't seem so bad when you get a full hour or two of the SUN! Blue Skies and Sunshine! YEEHAW! The nice thing too is the taxi driver rolls the window down for a few minutes during the drive! hee hee! We have seen so little of the sun - it is amazing how much that you miss it!
Though we live in the windiest part of the state - at least we get to see the sun - even in the winter! We are on the countdown.... 7 days from today and if all goes well we leave Kiev and head to Amsterdam! We have been spending our days/hours doing about the same old things! We have been eating much better this trip - or we are much braver.. knock on wood - no illnesses!
We need to get "A" home - this trip was too long for him... not enough for him to do and too many distractions! He did not quite get the whole benefit out of this trip that we were hoping for - but he has seen some things that he will not forget! (so have we!)
We do miss everyone one- but most of all we miss Little J... it has been hard to be away from him this long! Hopefully he does not forget who we are!

Happy Holidays!!!
