Yesterday we took the train to downtown Vladivostok with several other adopting families. We took pictures, looked in some shops, ate at a really nice (but cheaper than our hotel where we usually eat)restaurant. Good thing they had a picture menu! It was maybe the best chicken and vegetables any of us have ever eaten. We haven't been eating much fruits and veggies, so that probably was part of it, but it was sooo good. We spent some time looking into the harbor, got some icecream and headed back. It was a really fun day. We were very tired when we got back, but it was great. It got us away from the hotel which is nice and we got to spend time with all the other families who we get along with really well. There is a real camaraderie with all the adoptive families. We understand what each other are going through. It is really great.
Today we went downtown again. It is cheap to ride the train, so why not? This time just the 4 of us went. First, we got a Cinnabon. Yeah, they had one here, so we had to try it! Then we went souvenir shopping for a while. We headed back to the same restaurant for the exact same meal we had yesterday. Then we hung out at the harbor again until the train came to take us back. It was another nice day. We showered and relaxed a little bit then joined the other families for supper in the hotel restaurant.
Two very nice days together. It was probably the last opportunity we will have to go downtown and souvenir shop, so we are glad we did it. Long day for Kelsey. She is still doing very well. Life will be very different from here on!
