Adoptive Families
My Family
Saigon II
Well, when we last left off, Troy had woken up from his nap and my blog was still about 4 days behind. Let’s hope I can wrap things up tonight.
After the medical exam, we got visa pictures for the babies and then were free until Thursday, when we were to fly to Hanoi. I went back to the hotel for nap for Troy. He has a strange affinity for terry towels, which he likes to use for comfort when he sleeps. Fortunately, the Duxton hotel had plenty.
In the afternoon I hung out with Victor and Jamie, a couple from my group who adopted a daughter. We walked around, shopping and checking out potential restaurants for dinner. We finally took a break at the rooftop bar of the Rex hotel, one of the great rooftop bars of the world…
For dinner, we went to “Blue Ginger” which I believe was popular with a number of adoptive parents from my agency. The food was very good but in retrospect, it was a bit much for the kids to sit through the 6 or 7 course menu we ordered. It did not help that I got turned around and led us in the exact opposite direction on the way home.
