Saturday - June 12th

A boat ride on the Dneiper River, a meal at McDonald's, and shopping in downtown Kiev - these things outlined our day today. It was a relaxing day for those of our team who are here in Kiev on the "medical" side of things. We enjoyed (or not) the hot 95+ degree weather that had us buying lots of water!

Our excursion started with a meal at McDonald's in Kiev. Not much difference from an American McDonald's (except for the menus in a different language - we managed very well ). After our meal we had a "sauna" trolley ride up a hill toward St. Andrews (the heat, plus body heat from all the people crowded together equaled quite a warm ride up).

We took a ferry type boat ride on the Dneiper River (the river that flows through Kiev). It was an enjoyable time of fellowship, and neat to get a different perspective on sights that we had seen previously.

After our boat docked again, we headed to the bazaar on St. Andrews Street to do some more souvenir shopping. Misty, John, and Kaitlyn were able to do some haggling to get a better deal for a few items.

Then we were driven to Belagorodka where we met the medical team from York, Pennsylvania. It was great to enjoy a large homemade meal, and get to know the other team that we will be working with this week.

Well, we are all heading to bed, ready to start our final week in Ukraine.

Thank you for your continued prayers!
Team Ukraine
