Holiday

Our day began with a bowl of corn flakes, yes you can get them here in the Ukraine.
We took it easy for the most part. Sveta and I dragged Jess with us to the nail salon. Figured I could use a manicure. While we were there Jess decided to find out how much a hair cut cost . For just $16 he could get a cut wash and blow dry, so he went for it. The best part was the girl that cut his hair! She was hot! He is thinking about going back tomorrow! Something good happened today...our washing machine is broken and Sveta called to notify the property manager who sent over the apartment owner. He took our laundry and washed it all and then brought it back to us. Yes it was wet, but clean...works for me!
Just got back from a traditional Ukrainian dinner. The lovely restaurant was in a local park not far from our apartment. As we walked thru the park to get there we passed hundreds of men sitting around tables playing chess...chess is a very big game here and boy are those men serious. Dinner consisted of salad, meat, potatoes, and a crepe like apple dessert called "mlinzi"... Superb!
Back to the apartment in order to wake up early to make it to the SDA to drop off our paperwork. So glad tomorrow is Tuesday.
