We are in Sevastopol right now. Literally, it has been a real ride. We spent 9 hours on a train ! ! ! Then an hour ride from the train station to Sevastopol. We have been here for several days. We went to the Black Sea yesterday and swam. It was fun especially for Katya. She loves the water ! ! !
Oh yeah, Katya. That has been another real ride. She is as fun as she can be. We had great fun playing UNO on the train. There is a couple from Connecticut traveling with us while they wait for their ten day wait to end. Katya even went down to their train car and played cards with them. She is a very self-confident young lady. She will lead the way when we go anywhere, and handle our transactions when we eat out or buy in the market. BUT, she has shown another side to herself the last two days and has pouted some when she hasn't gotten her way. She does get over things quickly though and seems still to be happy with her new Mom and Papa (as she calls us).
I have so many things I could tell about our ADVENTURE! ! But I'm a slow typist, and it is getting late and we are at Avie Carlisile's flat using her computer.
Before we left for Sevastopol, the adoption inspector wanted to meet with Katya to make sure she wanted to be adopted. She convinced them she does. That was two days ago and may answer differently today. She didn't like spending two hours in church.
We have about four more days to spend here and then we get back on the train and ride another 9 hours back to have our court hearing on Friday the 10th. The court date is sooner than we were originally expecting, which is really good, because Beverly and Katya can travel back to USA on August 24 ! ! ! That's about a week sooner than expected.
I could go on and on... but better go for now. Hopefully I can post more often. Traveling makes Internet access difficult.
Love to everyone, and please pray for Katya and what must be going through her head! ! !

Great update. I was beginning to wonder if you were having too much fun to stop and blog. Love the pic of Katya doing Bev's hair! Glad to hear about the possible earlier-than-expected return!! Hopefully Katya will find spending two hours at Grace much more appealing than her church experience this week! You guys are constantly in our prayers.
