Robert and I had a splendid day in the outskirts of London today. We took a tour bus to the Windsor Castle and saw the changing of the guards and tour where Queen Elizabeth visits on the weekends. We then went to Stone Henge which is a phenomenon where these gigantic stones are placed in a circle out in a huge field like area. Some say that people over 5,000 years ago built it to worship the sun and the moon. Anyway, we then went on to a old mill which was created into a cafe where we enjoyed lunch. After that we went to a town call Baths which is a very european looking city. Almost reminds us of what a village in Italy would look like. We visited the Roman Baths which is a place where the Romans built this building around these hot springs of water (116 degrres F) The springs there create over one million liters of hot springs a day. The Romans used the Baths as like a sauna, place to relax and cleansing experience. It was also a social hangout back then for the Romans, kind of like a country club.

That was our day for today. We heard on the bus ride back to London that there were a couple incidents that happened here in town today. We are fine and pushing forward with our adoption journey in Ukraine tomorrow. We fly out of London tomorrow morning and arrive in Ukraine around 3:00pm (8:00am EST). Please keep us in prayer for safe travels and for God to guide us and direct us to select our children during our appointment on Tuesday, July 26th with the NAC. I am sure He will, He has cleared the path so far for us and has come through for us in every other aspect. We'll be in touch from Ukraine as soon as we get settled, hopefully sometime tomorrow. We Love you all. Robert & Karrie
