Earlier today we wrote out a petition for a second appointment. We have decided against going to see our first referral. So now we wait for a second appointment. Hopefully we won't have to wait to long. Tonight we are moving to a new apartment. I believe it is the apartment we were originally supposed to have. We like our present apartment because it is two blocks off of Independence Square and there are lots of things to see. Hopefully there is an internet place near our new one so we can keep in touch with all of you. Last night Jeff and I figure that we have only spent $54 so far. Not bad for having to eat out each meal and buy water. For those of you who are planning on adopting from here and want a young child, you should probably rethink your options. They are telling us most orphans are much older (like 10 and up).

We exchanged some money today at a bank. Before we have use the one in the deli. The bank looked over each bill under a special light and everything. The one in a deli just counted it and exchanged it. Going to the bank takes a long time.
