Lost and Found

We've had some sleep and are almost starting to feel human again. When we went through customs they were really only unsure about one item. We bought a converter that will handle 500 watts. It has been worth the extra hassle. It runs the blow dryer and is the only converter that works with our little printer. (Um yes we are traveling light, yea right)

As I mentioned we got in early and waited a little for our driver. His name was Sergei and he had a sign with our name on it. As soon as we got settled in and had lunch I got the password for our secure wireless internet and logged on. Only to find that our facilitator said his driver was still waiting for us at the airport. Luckily our internet Skype phone worked and I was able to talk with him. It seems that our Pastor's friend here at the office decided that we needed a ride from the airport. Both driver's name is Sergei and both had signs with our name on it. I guess two rides are better than none. We owe Sergei big time for waiting around the airport for about three hours and talking the airline into confirming that we were on the flight.

Then we went shopping. Tried my Russian to purchase some banana's. Evidently I wasn't getting the numbers right. Finally both sides gave up trying and we left with a kilo for 10 Hyrvna. I think I ran the hot water out this morning and Teresa got a cold shower. Not a good way to start off to make a happy Mama. I also suggested that rather than bring her curling iron we just buy one here. One of the ladies from the office went with us looking for one and we were unsuccessful. Luckily this afternoon when we were walking I saw a store that looked like it might have one, it did and for only about $13. So I am now at least back to even in the score and a good husband again.

Here's a picture of our bathroom. As you can see it's tough and it has heated floors. Now Teresa has a new idea for when we get home. argh.
