Other musings...

I had read about a restaurant that I was really excited to try. We took a taxi to the address and low and behold the restaurant was nowhere to be found. Eating is a bit tricky since I don't eat meat so we wandered around and settled on a Vietnamese restaurant that looked nice but was mediocre as far as the food. Carli took the pictures of the Christmas decorations at the restaurant. As usual, Carli made friends. This time it was an Australian couple. Carli told them all about the adoption struggles, played staring contests and jump on one leg contests. The woman, Tanya, proceeded to show Carli her stomach tricks. I am sure the waiter thought we were nuts.

I love traveling oversees because you are able to meet people from all over the world. It makes the world feel like a much smaller place.

On our walk back, there was a large group "exercise" session going on at the lake. Carli decided to join in. She got lots of laughs. The picture is pretty dark so you might not be able to see her in action!

Seniye, thank you for the great history lessons you provide. Meeting people from all over the world is a wonderful experience. I'm sure Carli loves it and will have a gazillion stories for her teachers and friends when you return. Pearl is adorable, so it was great to see more pics of her. I'm glad you'll be able to come early!! Enjoy the rest of your trip there. Thinking of you always here in CO!!

Hi Seniye! We've been loving your photos. I'm so glad you are doing frequent updates. Pearl is gorgeous and looks so happy and like she always belonged in your family. Get ready for the snow when you come back! It's going to be quite a weather shock. :)
