After it was lunch time and we ventured out to a restaurant on our own. We even ordered without help. Everything tasted great. We were feeling proud until the last dish arrived. It was a huge plate of sauteed jalapenos and a few pieces of sliced beef. I don't think even a Cajun would have tried this..
This is the orphanage director who drove over 8 hours. He was very nice and we are told a retired military captain.
After lunch we spent some down time while Johanna took a nap. Then went to the police station to get her passport. Across from the police station was a lovely park with beautiful topiaries. We only got to walk around for a few minutes but will try to go back there. These 2 girls were in the park. I heard one of them say I am from Ch!na I am Ch!nese, you are from America you are American. So I asked them if they would like to practice their English. They were very excited. Both girls were 12 years old and spoke very good English.Thanks to all of you who have left comments. We enjoy reading them all.

So happy for your whole family. Looks like she is adjusting well, no tears in the pics. Continued prayers, enjoy the wonderful memories you are making. Hugs to all and sweet kisses to Johanna. We love you all. Lyles
She is so cute. I can't wait to hold her. I remember Mia favored David holding her. Looks like Johanna doesn't care.

Looking forward to reading more soon!

Johanna is so beautiful, Sheri! Thomas & I have been reading the blog and today he finally says . . . guess they'll have to change their website to "Table for Eight" now, huh, Mom? I said maybe "Eight is Enough" (I loved that show) but of course he didn't get the reference! :) Be safe! God Bless You! Love, The Millers
She is beautiful!!! She looks very peaceful and content, but who wouldn't be with you and David as parents and such wonderful siblings. She's a lucky girl! Hope the rest of your journey is as amazing as the 1st half looks. Such awesome memories for all of you.
