Orphanage Day 3
Only 2 new pictures loaded on flickr today. Realized we can only upload a certain amount of pictures and we are almost at our capacity.
Any other places to load pictures???
One of the pictures has them in new clothes and of course they were in the same clothes when we arrived today. Oh and it’s not easy to find kid appropriate clothes here. The choices are between the night club short short skirts that we would be sent home from work if we wore them or the dresses that we may dress a doll in, so needless to say, what they are wearing was a difficult find.
We spent a lot of time this afternoon looking for a hotel. As Wendy mentioned, it’s a resort area, so most of the hotels don’t have rooms available, and the hotel we are in now is filled up as of Weds. The pros of Odessa is its very pretty and a lot to do, the cons are the cost.
We cant stay in apartment, something with the adoption process in Odessa, so check out this hotel we are moving into Wed. www.neapol.od.ua. I assume its much different from Mariopul.
Christina called a bunch of hotels and they were all sold out so we drove around until we found one that has availability. Its 1 blk from the beach (darn), its about $180 a night which isnt bad for a beach resort if were on a beach vacation, and on top if it …they dont take credit cards, cash only, but at least we have a place to stay.
The second picture is from downtown Odessa, some famous stairs we climbed, we both cant remember the name but its part of the fort that protected the city from the harbor.
Tomorrow we start all the running around chasing paperwork.

I am so, so sorry you have to stay in such an outrageous hotel!!! How will you EVER survive!!! LMAO
The girls look FANTASTIC in their new outfits!
I noticed on the Hesse's flickr site, they have at least 200 pictures and you mentioned you were almost at capacity with only 41. What's up with that?
Hope your paperwork chasing goes smooth.

The girls look really cute in their new outfits. Since there is not many places there to shop for kids, imagine what they will go through the first time you take them to the mall!!! Stephen you will need something to relax your nerves.
Sent some pix for you to show the girls. Hope you get them all. I am sure things will go well tomorrow as you start the paper work chase.
Congratulations! The girls are beautiful! (Cyn-I can't wait to take them shopping at the mall with ya!) The girls are so fortunate to have the two of you!
Good luck with the paper chasing, and I look forward to tomrrow's blog.

Hi! We've been reading the blog, and talking with Michele to keep up to date. The girls look wonderful. We hope the legal process goes quickly and smoothly.
Love you,
Barry & Helene
Lisa, good catch on the pictures. We had our camera on a high definition so they take up more room, we will lower the definition
