DTV 7 months

Today it has been 7 months since our dossier was sent to Vietnam. We still don't know anything for sure. Just praying and waiting...hoping that we will bring Maura home from Vietnam.

We have had a great trip so far. One day we ate at Harar Mesob, an authentic Ethiopian restaurant, in Crystal City. It was fantastic and the decor was great. We talked to the waitress, who was from Ethiopia, about our adoption from Ethiopia. She thought it was great and kept talking about how lucky she would be..we kept saying that we were the lucky ones. As far as we know, our documents are still at the Embassy in DC. Hopefully, we will get news soon that they are on the way to Ethiopia.

We also went to the Smithsonian Zoo in DC. It was so hot..heat factor of 104 degrees. Several of the exhibits were closed due to the extreme heat. We left there after two hours and went to Nam-Viet. It is a great Vietnamese Restaurant walking distance from the zoo. We had a GREAT lunch. LiLi likes Vietnamese food much better than Ethiopian. :) We left DC and took the Amtrak train to Chicago to visit some friends. After 21 hours on the train, we arrived in Chicago today at 1 pm. We will be here until Sunday night. We will post pictures soon.
