The Day of Tours:

• Skype Tour
• Deli Tour
• Kiev Tour
• Tour of Duty

Skype Tour. A daily highlight for the family bonding is for the Ukraine Ritzmans is to get to skype with the U.S. Ritzmans each day at 4:00p Kiev time (8:00a Central). We look forward to the big Skype. Today, Lucas gave Jason a tour of the house while dad 'drove' the laptop from room to room. Jason kept saying "Where my room?" and when he saw it he was pretty thrilled it had been painted from white to khaki - thank your Grandma Jan!!

Deli Tour. Our first visit to the Ukrainian deli was hosted by Bruce and we all liked the real Ukrainian food and atmosphere. Jason and Nathan were in food heaven sampling the traditional dishes.

Kiev Tour. Since Paul and Karla experienced the city with a tour guide over the weekend, they took us to some sights we have seen and sights we haven't seen and gave us insight on both. We got a lot of walking in and the boys played photographers the whole way.

Tour of duty. We got what we have been waiting & praying for; and need for the U.S. Embassy tomorrow:

And, inside, the stamp that was labored for on Friday last.

The one that proudly showed the gem to his new brother over skype today.

Thank you, God!
