Kyiv,
Ukraine
Tuesday, February 14, 2006
Well, I just got off a night train and now I'm back in the capital. We have to be back here for some training for a week. Their going to attempt to teach us Ukrainian again, and then we'll have to take another rediculous test. We don't get to stay in the city, but in this cold Soviet era "resort", which is the biggest stretch of the word resort I've ever heard. It's great, it hasn't been renovated for 20 years, and the food is scrumdiddly-umptious. That is, if you consider gruel for breakfast and deep-fried gruel for breakfast to be a delicacy. But I'm just bein a complainer, it's really not all that bad, and I get to see my fellow volunteers. Prolisok (the non-resort)is always crazy at night.
Well I'm all hungry hungry right now, so I can't really write a coherent message. But hey, next week when I write, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to upload some pictures so you can see what I'm seein.
Til then, send me your warmest California thoughts! Or wherever, pretty much anywhere is warmer than Ukraine at this point!
:o)

Happy Valentines Day!
Sorry you are stuck in the cold bleak resort, but enjoy the good company. Even gruel can taste better with a friend. Can't say as I've ever had deep fried gruel, or any gruel for that matter. Sounds like Oliver Twist. Tack care of yourself, stay as warm as possible, and before you know it, the Spring flowers will be popping up & the sun will be warming the land. What a brave soul you are, and what a wonderful gift you bring to human kind. This is what warms my heart on Valentines Day. Thank You, LOVE Mom.
Valentine's Day
Sounds pretty harsh. Sounds like an excellent diet opportunity, not that you're fat. You should come back to the US and market they idea. The Celeste Coleman Ukrainian Diet. Lose 50 pounds in one week. I'm not just the creator I was also the a client. Just a thought.
It's not too warm here at the moment either, but I bet its still warmer than where you are.
I sent you a warm love note in the form of a Valentine card. I sent it two weeks ago. I guess I should have thought ahead and sent it 2 MONTHS ago because you probably won't see it for a while. Hopefully it will get to you.
Much love from CA to you,
Alicia
