Hey ... This is my 2nd time internet today.. Michael and Jacob are napping... Michaels does not want to go anywhere or do anything today...and I could not take sitting in that room anymore... so I figured I would wonder around the hotel... look at the hotel shopping mall... but done that so many times its boring now....
We are hoping that thursday we can leave... only so much you can do... the other family said the same thing...
... Had a great breakfast today... Probly put on 5 lbs just eating all I ate... it was 32.00 foi 2 adult buffet... but it was well WORTH it.....
Other than that things are pretty cheap... Sorry I can not get pics uploaded... its harder here and its hard to get assistance due to the language barrier...
Well let me tell you a little more about the trip.....The orphange was only a short distance from our hotel when we arrived about 5 min. taxi ride... it was well taking care of clean and the care takers were awesome with the children... it houses 400 children mainly all disabled children except for the infant wing.. there was about 25 infants in Jacobs room with him.. and about 5 care takers. They were amazing they had the on the mat on the floor singing to them ..playing.. all kinds of stuff we have it on video....
When I first met jacob I cried... he was so beautiful and came right to me and never cried just smiled... It was like he knew everything was going to be ok...We spent several hours with him at the orphange playing ...him sleeping on us then finally we were able to bring him back to hotel. I have to tell you adoption is an amazing thing...... I am glad we got this oppurtunity. It has really opened my eyes....
Now i have to say it is not all beautiful here... there is definately poverty alot of it is... Jena (the other family) was telling us they saw there was a little boy about 2-3 yrs old walking down street by himself... in no0thing but a t-shirt... thats sad... there will be this beautiful hotel then right beside it a place that looks like it should be condemmed and theres 5 families living there...
It is interesting... always car horns beeping even in middle of night ..traffic is insane... when we got picked up at airport we just prayed we would make it to the hotel alive they have no driving laws.......I almost got ran over by a motor bike on the sidewalk.... lot of stuff here to tell but... I better go...
