Okay, a lot has happened today. Overall it was a typical day for me in Ukraine, with lots of drama, miscommunications with serious consequences, run-ins with shady characters, nail-biting car rides, exhaustion, and emotions running high.
Skimming over the highlights:
Victor, Sasha, Den and I got a lot done today. We finished up in Amvrosivka (no more driving that terror-inducing Amvrosivka road!) and did all of our business in Donetsk. I mean, we checked Sasha out of the orphanage, got passport photos taken, got him a new domestic passport, spent time at the notary office (a work day is not complete in Donetsk without a trip to the notary office), got passport photos taken again, and applied for an international passport. Now we just wait for said passport and we can go to Kiev.
My lost bag was found! I don't know specifics yet; I just know it should arrive in Donetsk the afternoon of the 26th. Hallelujah.
Sasha is an amazing kid. But I knew that already. He is under so much pressure from different directions and he's handling it like a pro.
We landed on a great apartment to get us through the next 4-5 days in Donetsk.
So there.
Merry Christmas Eve.
