Our appointments at the U.S. embassy to get a visa for Liam went well. Yesterday we went to apply for the visa. They received all of the paperwork such as the adoption court decree etc. Today we returned to pick up the visa and everything went very smoothly. So, everything we needed to do is done and we will be heading home tomorrow afternoon. We on on a British Airways flight via London. Should be home around 9 or 10 in the evening.
After our embassy appointment we went to the old city section near the very ornate Adreavsky church, where there are many street vendors and bought some gifts including a Ukrainian flag and a Euro-cup scarf for Vlad. Then we went to an Italian restaurant for dinner. Menu was in Russian and Italian so we could kinda figure out the Italian which was nice. We feel like five year olds here...can't read or write or make ourselves understood. Yesterday we got hopelessly lost on the metro because we couldn't read the signs. Despite all the difficulties in communication etc we feel a bit nervous about coming home to the "real world" and picking up our routines again. It will take awhile to get back into the groove.
Beth is massaging Vlad's head right now and he is falling asleep. It's time for all of us to head off to bed.
Goodnight and see you soon.
Bill, Beth and Liam (Vlad)
