Our first shipment of belongings has finally arrived! Last night we slept under our own familiar blankets again. And Peema had a great time whooping up and down the hallway, attacking her scratching post and doing fierce battles with her favorite toy, Blue.
On Sunday, we went to the “pet market” with another couple. Our friends are currently looking for a golden retriever and Shawn and I have also been discussing getting a dog now that we’re in Kyiv. There were a couple of close calls, but the four of us left the market empty handed in the end.
I know that you all must be anxiously awaiting more details from our trip and first (almost) two weeks here in Kyiv. Unfortunately, we still don’t have consistent internet access at home, so I’m using a computer at the Embassy, which means no pictures for now. But we’ve taken quite a few, so I’ll add them as soon as I can.
