Today was our last day to have a little rest and to get our laundry done. No dryer to dry our clothes so we borrowed a fold out drying rack and put it on our balcony. Started with the jeans wrong side out, turned them over, turned them right side out, turned them over – you get the picture, there is a little work involved. But all of our clothes are clean – woo hoo!! It’s the little things that count in life.
Ate typical Ukranian food today. Actually, at lunch it was something I enjoy. Veraniky - potato stuffed dumplings.
After supper our host took us up the coast and the view of the Black Sea was awesome and changing. It isn’t far but there are NO sandy beaches but cliffs. It is very beautiful. We all had jackets on and by the time we left, I was getting cold. But, brave soul that our host was, he stripped down to his underwear and jumped in. I cannot imagine how cold the water was and no sun to help warm him up and dry him off. Yesterday, with the sun out, only a couple of our friends braved the cold water. It was a delightful trip to view the beautiful Black Sea with vibrant blue and green water.
On the way back someone wanted to sing and everyone, men, women and children, joined in. It was beautiful. I only knew one of the songs but voices raised in praise to our God is a delightful way to wrap up the evening.
Tomorrow we catch the train for a 20 hour train ride and then a 2 ½ hour ride to our destination. Not looking forward to this trip as they couldn’t buy the beds for the entire compartment and we will be sharing with some unknown passenger. They do it here all the time but this is the first time I have had this “pleasure.”
You won’t be hearing anything from us until Sunday night.
