Friday, April 16, 2010. Today, we met up with Nastya and the Nichols and did a little bit of sightseeing. We went to the Monastery of Caves, which was very beautiful and interesting.
We had lunch at a little place in the park that served traditional Ukrainian food. Luckily, they had a picture menu and we had Nastya with us for any questions. We grabbed a taxi to the SDA and were there by 3pm. Unfortunately, we were waiting outside in the cold until they opened the gates at 4:30, but we met an interesting couple from Ft Wayne while standing in line. We picked up our Letter of Permission and Dossier with no problems. The packet is a little bit primitive by our standards- they are all original documents, and instead of staples or clips holding them together, it is all hand sewn through the middle. They tell us this is to make sure that nothing is altered, added, or taken out. We went back to our hotel, took a nap, and then ordered dinner to our room. It was a relaxing but productive day.
