No visit today….BOOOO!!!!  They are celebrating International Women’s Day tomorrow and had to close our playroom for visits in preparation for the holiday.  We are so bummed out.  We did not find out that the baby house was closed until after our driver dropped us off this morning.  We waited over an hour for our coordinator to get us a cab to take us back to our apartments.  We were then told that we can see him in the afternoon from 4-6pm.  At 4pm, after waiting outside for 20 minutes they told us that our afternoon session was also cancelled. 

We ended the day with pizza and beer with our friends at the Business Center.  At least, we were able to celebrate Carlos’ and Rosa’s successful court hearing.  They are leaving tomorrow for the Canary Islands and will return for Maria in 2-3 weeks.  We wish them well and hope to see them before we return for the states. 

Paka!

oh that stinks about the visitation!! :( and especially that you had to sit around and wait all that time! though hopefully it doesn’t phase you as much anymore cause you should be really good at sitting around & waiting by now.

that darn women’s day is so inconvenient!!! if i remember right, it’s like a 2 or 3 day holiday…nothing was open for a few days. since you are on the same timeline we were, you’ll also hit the celebration of Nurayz in late march…another holiday lasting several days. the kazakhs like to party! :)

well at least you had pizza and beer to console you…there’s very little that pizza and beer can’t fix. ;)

i hope you get to see gabe again really soon!
