Today started with Jim hiding in the curtains like the great wizard. I asked what he was doing & he said he was just looking. This was at 6am - so we decided it was time to get moving & go to breakfast. Afterwards we went for a walk around the area our hotel is in & checked out some of the local stores. We had been seeing a little kypula from our hotel room window & we even managed to find the church right next to a nice little park. We had wanted to go back with sandwiches & eat dinner there but unfortunately the chill & some rain prevented that. We also think we stumbled across another orphanage. So after our walk around it was time to head back to the hotel & get ready for our date with Little A. Our driver arrived & we ventured into the morning rush of traffic. Not much different than the gridlock & crowded streets of NYC. Little A was wonderful again today : ) He was more comfortable with us & remembered his toys from yesterday. He let out his little "uh" several times & of course we did lots of laps walking with him around the room. We then had to leave since it was nap time again & so we went to a shopping center nearby to kill some time. We had Makdonald'c for lunch & if it wasn't for the words on the package being different you would've never known it wasn't McDonald's! We then nosed through a few stores, found some Belgian chocolate & our translator promised to take us to a better store tomorrow to get some good Russian chocolate : ) (But don't worry Maa - we'll get you the Belgian kind). Tomorrow will be our last day here. Last day to visit Little A, see the sights & get business done. We will start out at the notary & then visit Little A two more times. And probably pick up a few small souvenirs. Until then - here's a few more souvenir's for you to see now...
