... be let go. They hadn't noticed my visa was a fake. But, they said I hadn't officially registered myself. I had to pay a $100 fine. I said, in English, that I didn't have much money. But, getting compassion from Russia's "miliciya" is like getting juice from a baseball. They took 40% of my money and didn't give me a receipt. Several days before this, a macho trucker had bragged to me that Russia's army is the strongest in the world ...

... hearing we got our things together and took a 2 hour drive to Lugansk to catch a 7:00 P.M. train to Kiev. It was no fun lugging 3 heavy suit cases and several carry-ons over train tracks to get to our train station. I had read about Ukraine trains, and all I read was true. The restrooms were pretty filthy and the rooms hot. The rooms were much smaller than even cruise ship rooms! The ride was bumpy, but I slept well. We arrived in Kiev at 11:00 A.M. the next morning.

... to Kiev. Today will be the last time I probably see the kids in Anastasia's class. I will miss playing with them and have become fond of them. However, it will be good to be in Kiev where there is more to see and do. We sure to look back at our Christmas Eve entry as we added photos. We will try to add more Christmas photos when we have time. Downloads are really slow here.

Arno writing: It's Christmas Eve and the sun has come out as a present. We went shopping yesterday to buy some clothes for Anastasia. The clothes we saw were not really cheaper compared to the U.S. We saw an "English" pub, but they did not have an English menu. We also saw a German restaurant, but their menu was only in Russian. We've only found one restaurant with an English menu, but we've fared well. Anastasia has a swollen mouth today, probably from ...

... beautiful name! We absolutely cannot change it (as many Americans do change their foreign-adopted child's name)." My second thought was, "Oh! Anastasia is royalty!" In order to fully appreciate this, I must go back. Before Arno and I ever started having children, I used to kid Arno that when we had a little girl someday, I was going to name her after his father- King Quon. I would say, "Oh, we will name her Princess...this or Princess...that." So, back to the day we ...

... farm fields which reminded me of South Georgia, except the fields were covered with snow. Our young taxi driver (looked to be around 17 years old) got lost because there are no signs anywhere. It's pretty in the countryside, but the pine trees have no bark on the tops of the trees. Our driver stopped to refuel on the way. His car used some kind of natural gas for fuel. The driver opened the trunk and refueled through the trunk. He made ...

... power lines to the train. It was only an hour delay though. It has been snowing daily, but it usually melts and turns to mush and mud. It's currently 10:30 A.M. here and it has started to snow. Ukraine is a "cash is king" economy. Many places don't accept credit cards or even traveler's checks. At last we've been able to put in pictures. Look also at Dec. 3rd and 4th entries for more pictures.

... 10 days, as the judge is required to review the paperwork for at least 10 days before the court date. We continue to visit Anastasia 21/2-3 hours daily. We're getting into a routine of mixing teaching and playing. She is progressing daily. We get big greetings and big long hugs, even kissesfrom her now, as she is getting very comfortable with us.We are talking with our kids back home on the phone, but still miss them. We love you Jonathan and Cameron. Arno ...

Destination 34: km48'489 Da ich beschlossen habe, den zufälligen Ukraineurlaub von Kolleg Michael am 22. abzuwarten um ihn in Donezk zu treffen, nutze ich die Zeit bis um mit "Trödlerrouten" das Landleben zu studieren. Dabei ein ukrainischer Hobbyschrauber kennengelernt. Der und seine Familie hat mir zuhause vom mehrgängigen Abendessen bis zu Tochters Sofabett zum übernachten alles angeboten was man sich vorstellen kann!!! Dabei auch noch am Töff geschraubt. Pure ukrainische ...
