Well, I didn’t get much sleep on the train last night. One of the other people in our compartment snored so loud that he could literally wake the dead. I mean seriously, how can someone snore that loud and not wake themselves up? Emily was so excited that she couldn’t sleep anyway. She stayed up all night playing on the iPod and looking out the windows.
The train arrived in Kiev at approximately 7:00am. We gathered our belongings and walked to our taxi. Victor took Emily and I to our apartment first. Once there, I finished completing our documents for the US Embassy. Then, Victor took Ray to his apartment. Before leaving for the Embassy, Emily and I both took showers. I showed Emily the new clothes and shoes we brought for her to wear. She was excited and after taking her shower, she put on some of her new clothes.
The appointment at the Embassy went smoothly. I gave them all the necessary documents. They scanned Emily’s fingerprints. Then, embassy employee instructed me to return on Monday at 2:00pm to get Emily’s visa. After the Embassy, we went to the medical center to get a medical exam for Emily. The doctor examined Emily and translated her medical records. He stated that Emily was in good health.
After the medical exam, we ate lunch at TGI Fridays. The food here has been good but it was nice to eat food that I was more familiar with. Ray and I had the Jack Daniels Burger with fries. It was so good. Emily had Buffalo Chicken wings with fries.
Emily and I spent the rest of the afternoon in our apartment. We watched TV and relaxed. At about 6:00pm, we met Ray in independence square. We walked around the mall for a little while then at dinner at an Italian restaurant named Mafia. Again, the food was very good.
Ray returned to his apartment after dinner. His return flight to the United States leaves at 6:30am tomorrow. Emily and I walked back to our apartment. On our way, we stopped by a store and bought some snacks and drinks.
When we returned to the apartment, we watched TV for a little while. Then, we took showers again. Emily was so excited about the opportunity to take two showers in the same day.
