We made it

We arrived at 11:45 am. All is well. We dropped our bags off at the apartment and did a little sight seeing with N. We saw the gigantic Motherland statue and toured the great war musuem (ww11). All very interesting. It was a nice day but as the sun went down it got colder and colder. We saw a monestary and cathedrals in the braoque style. very beautiful. Then we went out to dinner with N. it was her Birthday! what a way to spend your birthday, being a tour guide.

Friday we headed in early for our apt and all went well and smoothly. N was hoping that we would be able to pick up our letter later that day and visit the kids friday, but with the holiday it was very hard to get in to see people. finally friday at noon we were able to pick up our letter and we headed to Kr. We did not arrive in time to meet with the person we were to see before trying to visit the kids. so we are hanging out here and as most have heard by now spent a lot of our time trying to find internet access here. Hopefully we'll be able to come here and use the computers a little more often. Today is the holiday and so they have work off tomorrow so we won't see anyone until Tuesday. We sort of wish we could have stayed in K and seen some more of the city. so many beautiful buildings and history to see.

so we are not naming places and names until we get home and when we can blog will treat this more like a vacation, hope that isn't too confusing, but we didn't want to go private so family can see pics. so we won't be too specific. Also it takes a long time to upload pics and can only do one at a time so I don't know how many we will get on.

I'm glad you made it and I hope all goes smoothly, with a process that often doesn't! Also, having just been in a foreign country for a month, I completely understand how difficult it is to have limited internet access and how slow and difficult the computers can be. Blogging, especially with pictures, can be difficult. I wish you the best of luck with everything!
