Mama and Emma go shopping








Breakfast was a kick- A huge elegant buffet, indows down one side, maybe 30% or more of the people there are adoption families- just full of families with new babies. Talk about a tolerant wait staff... mealtime is a bit messy for us, with Emma wanting

Emma and I got on our group's tour bus, for our first shopping extravaganza- 10 minutes away, a huge mall filled with gemstones, some baby clothes, also I hear it is a good place to get DVDs ($1 but counterfeit) and the all-important extra suitcase for the trip home. I got her a string of pearls for sometime later (don't spill the beans), and some cute clothes- everything very reasonable. Emma loved being out... til she konked out in the wrap, so she slept thru the clothing shopping. We caught a cab back with another family.

Just outside our hotel is shopping as well- lots of cute stuff. The picture of the 3 of us is from there. I'm wanting to see something cultural as well, will try to figure that out. Talked with Amy, and we'll get together in a few days. Attached are pictures outside our hotel window, and a few of Miss Emma. It is still hard to get a good one of her, as she freezes up when she sees a camera.

Tomorrow morning is the medical exam, then the rest of the day is free. We'll explore a bit more of the island here.
