Zdrahst-vooy-tee - Hello!!!
Pree-vyet – Hi!!

This morning I spoke to my mom (Casa) we spoke and she was telling me not to worry about our cat “Sonny”. He’s doing fine, always hungry and is “nu ficha nase”. Oh she also said that my dad brushes him. WOW. Not bad for Italian parents that never had pets and are adapting very well and I think are getting attached to our cat. LOL!!!

This is our 6th bonding day. We were picked up by a taxi and Christoph and Nathalie went with Medet. What a taxi, it’s the 1st time we were in since we’ve been here, the car was very old and felt like it was gonna shut down. WOW!!!! We went for 10:00 am at the orphanage. As usual Dylan was the last baby again that came down, apparently they were feeding him so he came down a little past 10. He’s actually doing a little better. He played a lot today and that was good, he didn’t fall asleep at all. It seems that he is slowly gaining his energy and that’s great. Vera (Co-ordinator) told us that tomorrow we will be going to the Bazaar (flee market) after the orphanage. Also she asked for our passports cause she needed to make copies for the Notary, which we will be going on Monday.

The taxi took us back home and let me tell you he didn’t really know his way back to our house. When we got close to the house I (Fil) was giving him directions by pointing with my finger where to turn. LOL!!!!! We then had lunch and after lunch we had a card game the four of us. We played Crazy Eight. It was fun. After we finished playing cards we watched a movie called “Getting Over Sarah Marshall”. Bah, it was alright, but it was sooooo nice to listen to English words. LOL!! Actually Mary made it throughout the whole movie without falling asleep.

We then prepared supper, tuna salad and chicken soup.

p.s. towing trucks don’t exist here, they use a thick rope to transport a car if it’s not working.
