Big Brass

Another hot one. We are so hoping for a cool down, but it doesn't look too promising!

We had a wonderful visit with "K" today. There is one little boy in "k's" group that takes "K" by the hand and leads him over to us. This little guy looks exactly like Vladimir Putin. Today was no exception. Putin excitedly lead "K" over to us the minute we arrived. Hopefully "K" is beginning to understand that he belongs with us too.

We started the visit with coloring. He seemed to know what markers were. He soon had them all over the table, couch, floor and himself. Thank goodness for crayola washables! We did manage to stay on the paper most of the time. After we were done coloring, I took out a hand wipe. "K" immediately pulled down his shorts and then started to pull down his undies. I am assuming this is how they wash them up. Maybe sponge baths more than full baths. We quickly pulled everything back up in case some one happened by and then got down to the business of cleaning up his hands. We both have a lot to learn!

After the orphanage we had our driver take us to McDonalds. This was a treat. McDonalds here is huge. It is extremely busy and the food is cheap and of good quality. Trust me. You will not hear me praise a McDonald's very often, but we did enjoy this one.

Once the temps cooled off a bit, it was time to get the kids out of the apartment. We become like caged animals after a while. We walked along the water front following the sound of a band. We came upon a military brass band and enjoyed a fun concert. They played many American tunes and it was fun to enjoy the shade and the breeze and listen. After all of our "exercise", we bought ice cream for the walk back!





Have a lovely weekend!
