He made it

Garry arrived safely in Ukraine on Monday and made it back to the village from Kyiv by train and Victor picking him up, arriving in the wee hours overnight.  He spent Tuesday checking on everything,  which I'm happy to report that he said all looks great. They planted the wheat a week ago, and had a couple nice rains since.

He met a new student, Arthur, and played some pingpong with him. The students had their first day of class with Larissa Tuesday and she posted a couple photos.  Only two new guys in the photo, and the Sasha who returned after working his way around Ukraine. 

You might notice Vika (pink jacket) in one photo,  she had a couple days off work and came out to the village to visit. She does have a new nephew to visit now (she's Oksana's sister).
