Day 53 - Welcome to Canada Sophia

Yesterday and today was absolutely crazy. We picked up Sophia and spent all morning and afternoon at the passport office in Uzghorod. We rushed back to Svaliava to catch the overnight train and just made it (with just 6 minutes to spare). Then we took the 14 hour overnight train to Kiev. If one thing works as it should, it is the trains. We arrived exactly on schedule. Our facilitator was there to meet us and we went straight to the Canadian Embassy. There, they quickly processed us and within an hour we were off to the airport. From here all went smoothly (except for the fact that Sophia had now gone a day and a half without a good sleep or meal). Once we entered Canada, Lisa and I were ready to jump for joy. We are so happy to be home!
