Thursday Oct 22 Report #4
The day dawned dry but overcast at about 7C. Ruslan arrived at 9:45 am and loaded us up, ready to move us to Ivano Frankivsk about one and a half hours away. The trip is quite good and very pretty through the countryside of hills and valleys. We say several large John Deere tractors on the road, pulling large American pieces equipment. Someone is obviously financing some farming operations .
We arrived in Ivano and went to the Meeting Room to see if we could get in. It was locked up and some men were working in the building doing renovations. The whole building was empty except for our room. We got hold of Marika who had keys and is the lady in charge of sorting the boxes of clothing that are sent. When we got into the room we found that all the metal shelving had gone and most of the cupboards. They were not ours but had been in the room when we rented it. The only thing that was ours and was missing, was the plywood that was laid in the shelving. Thankfully, all our chairs were there.
Vadym was at work so Ruslan took us to Vadym’s house where we unloaded our stuff. Sveta, Vadym’s wife warmed us soup and we settled into our bedroom.
Marika had phoned around to tell people about the meeting at 5pm and about 21 people came into the cold Meeting room, we all kept our coats on.
There were several new people came, 2 men and 3 women, they seemed very interested and we hope will come back on Sunday.
We went out for pizza and then came home to relax. I could not get on the internet last night, but will have to try today.
All for now.
