Yalta

Just a quick note since I only have 5 minutes left to update.

We have visited two beautiful older girls outside of Yalta. I'll give more details and pictures of the girls after we have our court date. They are definitely healthy and on track; we couldn't be happier.

Yalta is beautiful but internet access is really hard to find. I'll give a longer update on another day when I have time to pretype it. This area is a difficult one so we are not really sure of how long we will be here. In a few days, we will move out of Yalta to a place near the girls. I reckon that if finding internet access here is tough, then it will be really tough when we are staying in the village.

Gotta run but hope to give a long update before we leave Yalta. This place is worth a visit if you are ever in the area.

Congratulations! We were in an area with very limited internet access as well. We did, however, meet a wonderful person who had personal access at his home (flat) and allowed us to come and use his computer so we could at least check our email and send occasional updates. It was such a blessing! Hopefully you'll be blessed with the same good fortune.

We adopted from Sevatopol. Which is close to Yalta, they have some great sight seeing placed there in Yalta. A great restraunt on the water. A beutiful Gondola to ride up the mountain. Enjoy it is beautiful out there. I can see the views of the Black Sea in my mind as I type this.
Blessing on your journey.
