Meeting at the Ministry

Sorry for the glare off the window but wanted to share the view from our hotel.  I was awake as the sun was coming up this morning and although I do not like to see the sun come up, this was a pretty site.  Jason slept for over 10 hours last night while I got in a whopping 4.  I think in all of my life I have never been on such little sleep as the past 4 days but jet lag is not kicking my tail like it normally does.  Oh wait, I just had a flashback to when Hollynn was a baby and I had no clue what sleep was.  Maybe that's where I learned how to hang!!

Today was our meeting at the Women's Ministry of Affairs.  We were prepped before we left but the only thing they mentioned was our homestudy agency's license expires on June 30th so we will need to update this.  I loved that the harder lady of the two couldn't help but smile when she started looking through our pics and saw Hudson and Hollynn.

We wanted some good Russian food today the problem is not many places have english menus but our driver made a call and took us to a place where I had veal stuffed with pears with a raspberry sauce on top (awesomeness!).  Jason had lamb, which he had never had before, he didn't care too much for it but he liked his Russian pancake stuffed with cabbage. 

We spent all yesterday afternoon with the couple that is doing everything the same time as us.  We are really enjoying them and since we have 2 days of down time we are going to hang out with them and do some site seeing tomorrow.

On a really weird note:  Everything I say in my head has a Russian accent to it! Ha!  I remember doing this last time too!!

I have already almost read my over 600 page book, that I started on the plane ride over.  I brought another one but I got mixed up and brought the second in the series, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself since reading is how I put myself to sleep.  I guess next trip I will just pack a whole bag full of books!
