Did I say why John and I had to take the stairs the other night, down 9 flights of stairs? It was because the elevator wasn't working! Whenever we would hit the down button, it sounded like the elevator doors were shutting on something a couple floors away - like something was lying in the way of the of it shutting. It took us a while to find the stairs. We had to go out through the doors to the balcany (good thing the windows were broken out, we could just "walk through" them). We prayed the old concrete balcony would hold while we wondered around to try and find stairs. We finally budged another door open, into the building, and found the stairs.
We had an opportunity to go to a Ukrainian Football game & root for the home team - WAXTEP (pronounced shac-tar; translates from "Coal Miner" the local occupation here). They are one of the best professional teams in Ukraine. Their only rival, we hear, is Kiev. Football (known as soccer in the US) is very, very big here. It was exciting and fun to cheer for the home team, who were excellent. We were able to go to a brand new, state of the art stadium complex, the best in Ukraine. It was very nice. We bought a penant & scarf to hang next to our BSU stuff. The girls will be proud. :) We'll upload photos soon.
