Day Two of the Waiting Game


Just for Maggie, a cute street dog that followed us for a while

Ruslan trying on Ann's scarf. He looks a little like a cross between his new Grandmothers

Sight-seeing at local monument


Visit the Chocolate Factory...ymmmm!!

Well it is very wet here today and Ann and I decided to stay inside today. Natasha had to travel to her home town this morning and she left very early. She may not be back until tomorrow. The Evensons left this morning for a morning walk and returned a little while later and pretty soaked. Natasha arranged for the children to be brought to us around 3:00pm.

Ruslan had enjoyed the PSP that my mother loaned to us. Thanks Mom! He even brought a game from one of the boys at the orphanage that had been given a PSP by the Howick family. We also worked on English tonight for a while. I thought I would include a few photos that we hadn't had a chance to share. Yesterday we did do some exploring and Natasha showed us some sites. We went to a chocolate factory and a museum and a few other sites. The next eight days are going to be quite long I am afraid. We plan on seeing Sergei again sometime this weekend.

Anyone can survive 8 more days if there is a chocolate factory near by!
Maybe you could play 3 on the couch, sardines or maybe truth or dare to pass the time. Or you could sit and talk about what you have been doing this past year.
You'll figure it out.
Love to all,

I hope you bring back some of that yummy chocolate. Preferrably dark if it for someone like let's say........me! :-)

was it the sweet aroma of the chocolate factory that lead you to it? Or did Natasha show you the way? Because I am pretty sure we found it all on our own just from the scent. It helped a little that the branch president lived right next to it and we could see through the windows. We definately looked forward to that weekly presidency meeting. Did you try the sponge chocolate? -Cort

No we didn't try the sponge chocolate but now maybe we plan to. SHould we? We have decided they have the best chocolate covered almonds ever. THere goes my diet.
