Metro & Monkey Dude...Day 2

Day 2 followed a very restless night, followed by oversleeping & having to rush to get ready. Then our phone was not working, because I knocked it off in the floor, so we did not get the message that a taxi was waiting for us. So finally Nikko shows up at 10:00 which is our appt. time. And we fly, I mean drive to the SDA. Luckily the Wojcik's have made it before us & are able to go in and then we go in after them. As my hands are dripping with sweat they ask a few questions & then we sit and listen to them talk back & forth. The lady leaves the room and then returns shaking her head NO & then much more talking back & forth occurs. At this point we know that something is not quite right. Then Serge tells us that because the papers were submitted for Levi later, we will have to have a 2nd SDA appt. for him. Uuugh! They did let us see both of the boys files, including sweet baby pictures & thankfully we will pick up the referral papers tomorrow at 3:00 which will allow us to see BOTH of the boys on MONDAY even though we still have to have the 2nd SDA appt.!!! Taking a picture of the both of the boys to the next SDA appt. so that I can trade them for the baby picture in their files. Thanks Mom, for the scrapbook otherwise I would not be able to get my hands on the only baby pictures they have:)

After lunch with our facilitators & lots of information, we headed back to rest & then out to explore & meet the Wojcik's at TGIF's. We did manage to get off the metro at the correct stop, then we walked, & walked & walked. Finally after asking about 6 people, all we can manage to get was a $6.00 taxi ride around the block. Ha!!! We knew we we're close:) After dinner we walked around, purchased a microphone so we can Skype with the kids, and had a confrontation with a Monkey. Hmmm...Weird I know, but as we are taking pics in the fountains the man makes his way into our pics, and then tells Sid that this is his work & he must pay!!! He wanted $6.00. He made a big scene and as usual I hit the road while Sid smooth talked the guy. Needless to say we will be avoiding that area in the future.. LOL Last, we went the wrong way on the metro, got off and went back the other directions, Sid fell UP the steps for about the 4th time today, & we crashed in our apt. Home Sweet Home:) Here's some pictures from today...
