Day 14 of our 14-day bonding period
Well, we can now go to court, or first, "pre-court" followed by court. Our coordinator and attorney are trying to get us a date. We're hoping a date is assigned to us tomorrow.
The photo today is one of the many Russian Orthodox churches in this town. This one is sort of the show piece one. It is located on the main boulevard of the city. Jo Ann and I have walked to it a couple of times.
Our visit with LG went well. We had her over for dinner. We had soup and macaroni and cheese again and this time we didn't get sick. Jo Ann spent part of the day washing all the dishes with sterilized water before using them. LG didn't really like the soup, but she liked the macaroni and cheese. Today was a very cold day so it made perfect sense to go out for ice cream afterwards.
Our coordinator is now working with a new family from Kansas that arrived to this city today. That means she is currently helping three families right now.
I was going to mention that our hotel was built by an Italian company. Because of this, we get about 4 or 5 Italian TV stations here. We only get two stations in English: CNN International and Euro News. When we were on the second floor we also got BBC News, but on the third floor, that is replaced by MTV Russia. We've been bored enough some days to watch that, which is mostly Russian rap artists. Pretty bad stuff.
