2 weeks already...
Sorry I haven’t blogged much lately. With limited internet access it has been a challenge to keep up with emails, graduate school and blogging. So, I will try to sum up the past week here. We are now at the new (less expensive) hotel (picture above). At first it took a while to get used to, but we have settled in nicely. It is right across the street from a big mall. Everyday we go eat breakfast in the McCafe ( yep, McDonalds has a café here with some good coffee!) then walk around the four floors for exercise. Usually baby J falls asleep for her morning nap during the walk. Above is a picture of baby J sharing some fried plantains with me. Then we come back and hang out in the room, playing, watching TV, mama doing homework, and napping. Then we head out around 5 for dinner at the mall again. Then spend the evening back in the room doing more of the same.
This week we did meet a Deaf man from here. He has come to join us for dinner the last two nights. We have had great chats about the Deaf club here, his time in the USA, etc. We are making plans to go to his house and meet his family as well as go to the Deaf club here to meet more Deaf folks.
Our appointment at the embassy got moved up to March 27. However, at this point we are unable to change our flights. So, it still looks like we are headed home on April 3. H will join us here on the 27th. Then we will all have time here together until going home on the 3rd.
Sunday we will move to yet one more place. That is the place we will be staying for the remainder of our trip. It is supposed to be a nice area, more residential and quiet. And the best part is that there will be better internet access.
Will post more when we get settled in the new place. Thanks to all of you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers….
Loves and hugs!
