More caching in Kiev

It's pretty apparent that Galya really enjoys caching - either that or she is incredibly gracious! We'll have to get her to Louisville so she can see that you don't have to travel miles and miles between caches. Anyhow, she has been an awesome guide and has been taking us to the cache sites via trolley, bus, taxi, train, and subway. Today we hit four more geocaches including one that was a nearly 4 mile roundtrip hike on an island in the Dneiper River. Throughout it all, Daniel has been exceptional and is quite excited to find his "treasure". As soon as Papa opens the container, he has both hands inside pulling out the loot.

One of the places we visited today was the National Botanical Gardens. It is quite impressive with beautiful plants, landscapes, and terrain. The place is very well maintained. With the great weather today (in the high 50s and sunny) and being Saturday, the place was packed with families strolling about.

Tomorrow night we're heading to the circus here in Kiev. Daniel has no idea what a circus is so he's in for a real treat. I think all of us are excited to go.

Otherwise, everything is pretty quiet here. We're just biding our time hoping for the call regarding Daniel's passport on Monday. Once we get that we will take Daniel to a medical checkup and then apply for the US visa. Then we're homefree.

We are very glad to see that the Cards won last night. Perhaps we'll catch the second half of the game tomorrow at the internet cafe after the circus.

All our love to our friends and family...
