Outside of the political news, it was a slow day. Nataliya was unable to get a train ticket out of Odessa until Friday so, she will be with us all week. We took Yuri to a photo store and had prints made for his passport and visa. We also had prints made of pictures we shot when we where with Yuri's brother, Viktor and Babushka Valya. We will give the prints to Viktor and Babushka before we leave the country. We ate a late lunch at "Fat Moses" a tavern downtown that has more American style food on the menu. American travelers are known to frequent the restaurant. When we walked in, an older gentlemen (obviously American) was sitting in a booth and he was wearing a "CATERPILLAR" cap. Just seeing that familiar logo made me feel more at home! In the evening, Sasha took Paul, Yuri and Nataliya to the Internot to retrieve Yuri's belongings.
Below, are a couple more photos from yesterday's court date.

Katya, Sasha and Yuri in front of the court building. One big step closer to becoming members of families and US citizens.

The front of the court building. Not far from the Internot.

I am impressed that you are experiencing so many restaurants. Makes me wonder why we were eating at McDonald's and Express Sandwich every day! Glad you could feel a connection with home through the Caterpillar hat.We are thankful that all is well there.
Yea! I'm wondering thattoo. I think that eating at McDonalds for 5 weeks should have qualified us to be part of the "Supersize Me" documentary.I wish we could have gone to some of these places you guys keep finding.
We hadn't heard of the unrest going on there. I'm glad that the streets are quiet and that your process should not be interrupted.
You're on the downhill slide now. Won't be too much longer.
