Jocelyn here.
Curt just posted about our arrival here in Kiev but I thought I'd supplement a bit.
Kiev is a world away from eastern Ukraine, where we spent our week in May. Kiev feels much more modern--a true European capital. Granted we haven't seen that much, but Victor took us walking around our neighborhood (somewhere downtown, near the soccer stadium), and I really liked the vibe and the architecture. Victor said that after our SDA appointment on Monday, he'll take us around to see some of the sights. Curt and I were on our own for dinner and grocery shopping today and we managed just fine--most people we encountered spoke at least a little English. Curt even managed to navigate us back to our apartment. It would be very easy to get lost here, not being able to read the street signs.
Dinner, by the way, was FANTASTIC, and $19 for the both of us.
Our apartment is great--much nicer than the one we had in Zaporizhya. The elevator is a bit scary, so we might be walking up and down the seven flights of stairs quite often, but the apartment is clean and pretty modern.
We are looking forward to our down day tomorrow, and then the fun begins!
