DIFFERENT OUTLETS AND PLUGS

Thursday we sure got our exercise. Thursday morning we needed to get a hairdryer.  Mom was told to buy a new hairdryer in Ukraine that was compatable with Eastern European power and outlets.  If she had brought her own, the 220 volts would have been to much for the 110 volt hairdryer.  It would have burned the motor  up.  So we went to the under ground mall to find one. We looked for one there, but couldn't find one. So we called Nastya (our Ukrainian facilitator.) and she told us about a different place to look.  It was a long search to find one, but finally we did. Once we bought the hairdryer, we went back to the apartment to get ready to get on the train to go to Lugansk.  Alexi (Nastya's husband)  picked us up to go to the train station, but first we went to pick up our SDA referral papers (which allows us to start the adoption process in the region where our children's orphanage is located.)  That went as smooth as can be. Then we went to the train station area to get some food, we ate at McDonalds and then boarded our train car. This was our home for the next 15 hours. It was nice to be able to move around more than you can on a plane.  We were able to sleep extremely well on the train and we enjoyed all the sights on the way.
