A walk in the park

This is just a quick update...but let me start by saying that Google the Apple are not playing well together and it is really frustrating me. I cannot seem to post pictures here, so the stories are here and the pictures are on Facebook. Sorry.

 Yesterday our main adoption related event was to go to the police station to apply for Davina's passport. Lots of waiting, but our guide takes such good care of us. Earlier in the day we decided to walk to a park. We got confused by our memory of the instructions so we decided to go back to the hotel to ask for directions and a map. There was confusion at first because the hotel worker wanted to send us to a park that required a cab ride, and we kept saying that we wanted to walk to a smaller nearby park. She finally figured out where we wanted to go and gave us a map of the city, a hand drawn map and a paper with the name of the park in case we needed to ask someone for directions. Once again, Davina proved to be a capable guide. The park was quite large (so I am curious about the size of the bigger park) and very beautiful. All of the trees and landscaping was neatly arranged in rows. We enjoyed the park for a little bit and then decided to head back to the hotel.

 We got hopelessly lost. We kept walking and walking. Finally we spotted a subway station and decided to use that. While we were waiting for the train , Davina found the station, the park, and the hotel on the map. We had wandered far afield!

 For lunch we grabbed sandwiches at a little deli across the street (in the interest of full disclosure I should admit that Savanna had a chocolate donut). The lunch was delicious and our four selections cost less than $6. We will be going back there! For dinner we had Mexican. It was good, but for the price, we have had other food I have liked more. So that's our day! Tomorrow, more paperwork!
