The overnight train from Kherson to Kiev was uneventful. We actually did get some sleep and enjoyed seeing some of the countryside as we approached Kiev from the south.
After arriving, our facilitator took us right to the US Embassy where we signed the paperwork that required both our signatures. It took about an hour and then we were done!
Then we were off to meet Karen Springs at her office to retrieve the keys for her apartment, and then our driver dropped us off.
We walked around a bit and had a bite to eat, but it has turned really cold up here in Kiev. Yesterday in Kherson it was actually very summer-like. Today in Kiev it feels like winter is nearly here!
We met Karen for dinner at one of her favorite Italian restaurants near the center. It was a great meal and we've had a great time learning about the work Karen is doing here with CBN and also had some laughs about our experiences over the last several weeks.
Tomorrow is a free day. We leave Friday morning at 5:30 AM (!), so it will be an early morning.
Not a lot of news today. Just want to let everyone know we are safe and sound...hanging out at Karen's apartment the next coupe of days.
Thanks for reading.
