A very quiet day was had in Lviv today as we let the two retirees recover from their jet lag. They seemed to be doing pretty good but the nap this afternoon was a welcomed break as they fell asleep very quickly.
We dropped off some boots and cleaning supplies at an baby orphanage in the city and then went to try to change some money into hryvny but the place was closed. I guess it's back to the Krakivsky bazaar tomorrow.
I forgot to mention the other day that we went to visit the family with the 5 children in the neighbouring village. They have no mother and are being raised by their father. An uncle and the grandfather are often there also when we visit though I am not sure they live there. The children range in ages from 13 to 5. We had some nice clothing to bring there and we also wanted to bring them each a shoe box that we received earlier last week. Well, it was such a pleasure to see these kids when they received their individual boxes. The two boys were so excited, a real genuine excitement at receiving the small things in the box...a toy, colouring pencils, gloves, socks, and a variety of other items. The girls are a wee bit older and they didn't show their excitement as much but they were giggling between themselves and were very happy. It was a very nice feeling to be able to make someone happy because of someone else's generosity. Many thanks to those responsible for the boxes.
The weather is warming up a bit and we had the joy of seeing the sun shining today!

Hi Helene. Just want to encourage you to keep posting. It's so nice to hear news from Ukraine. We recognize the home pictured above as being the one Marta lived in. Those kids were so cute.
BTW, is Ruslan still driving for you?
