Quiet Saturday

Today was very quiet.  Since it is Saturday, no government offices were open.  Svetlana worked all morning on paperwork needed for Monday. We took several long walks, and wandered into a few shops just to see what was in them.  We found some gift bags for the several gifts we have for the orphanage director, et al.  We also went to a bigger grocery store that was a little further away.  Svetlana came with us to the store, so she explained what things were.  It was very helpful, and we were able to lay in enough food to get through Sunday.  Svetlana was too tired to go out to eat, so we had to decide whether we just eat cereal or Nutella bread, or venture out.  Virginia stepped up and decided we should go back to the pizza place.  She got out google translate, and wrote down all the ingredients she wanted in Russian (this part of Ukraine seems to tend more toward Russian than Ukrainian).  She must have done a decent job of it, because we successfully received our pizza.  Then we walked slowly home, visiting the pig again.  Lots of people out walking and enjoying the cool evening.  We are now waiting for someone to come change our bathroom light bulb, so we can see to do so many essential things.
