Paperwork pick-up

Today started out slow, we slept until 8, after we got ready we went to the market.  There are two different sides to the grocery store, on side is shampoo, toothpaste, soap and things like that and the other side has the food items.  If you purchase from one side you have to leave your bags in a locker while you shop on the other side.  It is interesting, I want to take pictures but I don't know if they will let us.  There is security there and I do not know what they would think about us taking pictures. We must not look to American because everyone speaks Ukraineian to us and we have to say we don't understand ( the one phrase we know how to say in Russian) and then say english.  Then they just smile and everything is alright.  You have to purchases your plastic bags to put your grocerys in, so sometimes it is hard to communicate what size bag you would like.  But it all works out in the end. The cashiers are very friendly, and once they find out you speak english they are very accomidating  
We came back to the apartment and waited for Sasha to call.  We went and picked up our paperwork from the SAD, it took all of five minutes.  Now we do not have anything to do but wait until Sunday to take the train to Krivey Rig.  We wish we could go to Krivey Rig tonight and just stay there until Monday so we could be closer to Vika.  Two more days!
