Day 5/6-I forgot to write yesterday...Michael was sick and so I was the only one who was able to go see A.J. in the afternoon. :( Today we went to the foster home and spent some time with our adorable little girl!! She is too cute for words!! Since Michael was sick for the second half of our visits yesterday I "let" him have more time with A.J. than me...lol aren't I nice?? :) After our morning visits we went to have lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant...yes ITALIAN!! IT was delicious!!
After lunch we did a little shopping. We went to the Mercado and bought a traditional dress for A.J. to wear when she is a little older! It is so cute! After our short shopping trip it was time to go back to the foster home and love on our daughter some more! When we said goodbye to her for the night we went to eat at the Island Breeze. The name of the restaurant is a bit of a joke however because it was super hot and cloudy in there!! Food and company was great though! After supper on our way back to the guesthouse we heard music and dancing going on in the streets. It is a whole different city at night.
Tomorrow Joni is going to take us to church! We are very excited to experience this!
We will also get to meet Joni's wife! We have heard such great things about her from Joni that we are super excited to meet her!
Day 7- Today is father's day and we are going to church in Ethiopia-how great is that?? Joni took us to the Orthodox church, his church, and we were able to experience a short bit of that service. The service took place outside and all the women wore white dresses and shawls to cover their heads. It was beautiful! We even got to meet Joni's wife, the boss! She was very very sweet and welcomed us with open arms! Next Joni took us to the church of Michael...My husband, Michael, loved this! lol. In Ethiopia today was the festival of St. Michael and they were having a "party" on the street leading up to the church of Michael. It was amazing to see! The crowd was so large we couldn't even get into the church! After all of the sight-seeing Joni drove us to the foster home to spend some time with our daughter on father's day.
A.J. seemed to be teething today. She kept her fingers in her mouth almost the entire time we saw her. Poor girl, but she kept a smile on her face and laughed like she didn't hurt a bit! She is such a good girl. We just want to get her home already!! -Mama 2 be!
