Eric and the train ride

Eric Noel made it back to Ukraine yesterday afternoon and stayed with us at the apartment until we got the train, Mick and I both enjoyed having someone to talk with.  After 8 last night we left for the train, Mick and Eric slept in one compartment and Sveta and I in another. The train left Kiev after 9 and we arrived at Krivoy Rig around 6:30 this morning. Niether Mick or I slept very well, well we did not sleep at all.  I do not know why we can not sleep on the train it is very restful.  We stopped at McDonalds for breakfast, the coffee tasted very good!  Mick and I are staying in one apartment with Sveta and Eric is by himself in another. We are in the apartment Eric and Cindy were in last time and Eric is in the one Tina had.  After we got unpacked and showered we went to the martket.  We got food and a pair of pants and socks for Mick, no we still do not have our suitcase. (Yes Bianca it is the suitcase we borrowed from you - we are never going to borrow anything again!) We did have some good news about the missing bag, it has been located in Germany and we should- notice I said should- have it by thursday. Keep praying! 
This afternoon around 3:30 we are going to the orphanage to see Vika, the kids all know we are to come back today and we can not wait to see their faces and give them hugs! We will have some great pictures tomorrow.  I am going to try to sleep for a while, Mick is already napping.
