Our day of rest

We arrived in Krasnoyarsk safe and sound! After sleeping at the Novotel in Moscow and a few hours on the plane, we were feeling pretty good;)
We unpacked and got everything set up...


Doesn't that look spectacular??!? Can't wait to use it!!

After skyping with family for a while we were able to make contact with our new friends here.
They sent their driver for us and after a brief hiatus in making contact with the driver, we were on our way.
Andre, our driver, was super friendly and seemed to enjoy practicing his English on us. He took us all over, showed us many sights, even stopped at one point to get a small stone.. A red one... Which is what gave Krasnoyarsk its name. We had a great time getting to know this very friendly man;)
It was so nice to be able to spend some time with Iris!! They had some guests from another country whom we also enjoyed meeting and talking with.
Such an enjoyable, relaxing way to sped our day!! Thank you!!
On the way back we stopped at a market called Metro. It makes our Sams club at home look like an Aldi store in comparison. It was quite overwhelming!!

After a wonderful nights sleep, we woke this morning to Skype with our families.... This is kinda how our kitchen looks every morning as we talk to Eli and pray with him before he goes to bed the night before (we are 12 hours ahead here)


We are now traveling to be reunited with our daughter.... Our last visit before we legally become her parents... The excitement is mounting by leaps and bounds!!!
