Monday 9/15

We're doing well today. It's been kind of low-key. We went this morning to the Embassay for our visa--and it's not ready. They said maybe sometime this week or early next week. UGHHHHH. We're still enjoying our stay thought. T Spent last night at at Layla again and came back pretty groggy. She went straight upstairs and to sleep. I will check at dinner time and see if shes' feeling well, but I don't want to wake her before then. We're having a good time. Melat has lots of friends. Last night we went to the Hilton for dinner with friends. She and I had traditional food. Our friends had American food. As dinner was dwindling down she started saying to me "ships" "Ships, ships" and then grabbed my chin and shouted "SHIPS!!" I said I don't know what youre' saying. Finally, in very clear English she yelled "I LIKE SHIPS" (She wanted "chips" --french fries!) It was hilarious. We're taking a quiet afternoon, we may run out later and search for more Pull-ups (I think she's on her last one). Tomorrow, off to see some of T's family, and then maybe shopping or something. We'll see. The taxi costs us about $30USD per day, so we try to make it a full day when we go out.>>>> Jess
