Mary Here,
Well, we made it our first leg to Cincinnati, which is "home" for us, so this has been fun. We met Jim's mom for a yummy breakfast, then waited with her while AAA came to get her keys out of her locked car. We practiced our limited Ukrainian-mostly food words. Food is a very important part of our lives! We know now how to say "meatballs" in Ukrainian.

After breakfast our day was spent searching for new shoes for Jim-he brought the "old, worn out"pair, not the just broken in ones. Found them, ate lunch at La Rosa's (the BEST hoagies in the world for anyone coming through CIncinnati, make note of that!) decided to pass on the Graeters Ice Cream this time, and headed back to the airport.

While checking in, there was a large group also checking in-a very large group of many children and some adults. All obviously together. The kids were many, but very, very well behaved. THey played quietly together. The guy checking us in told us that they were a group of Russian kids who were here for a visit, all hoping that this visit would end in their adoption. I really hope that they all have found their forever families.

The battery needs charging and we are ready to go to the gate for our next flight-to Paris.

By for now.
