Victor arrived from the overnight train just as he said he would. We set out towards the orphanage with one quick errand to run on the way. That errand revealed a hiccup. That hiccup resulted in about nine hours of driving from town to town, waiting in offices and Sasha's car. I spent much of the day as I did on the drive to/from Zaporozhye in May: curled up in the back seat of the car so I couldn't witness the scary scene out on the road. And hungry, as I didn't bring snacks. I figured I'd be feasting with mychickie. I had Victor call the orphanage to make sure the boys understood that we were still coming--just not today like we'd told them. I hate to think what is going through their heads right now.
Anyway, it seems this wrinkle is now ironed out. We again have one errand to run tomorrow morning, then plan to head to the orphanage to retrieve the boys.
We will also look at other apartments this week--maybe tomorrow. There are a lot of things I like about this one but it doesn't have heat. It's not that big of an issue now, but it will be a problem as it gets colder.
At least the weather was really nice today?
Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
Meanwhile, here's a photo from last week to tide us all over.
