Well today we took it easy and just walked, talked and shopped. The weather has been really beautiful. Hopefully, it will hold for another couple of days.Went to McDonalds instead of Starbucks (my hang at home...there is no Starbucks here) at about 7am, and they have terrific coffee and it's cheap! Made cup by cup - sounds just like the way they make their food - huh?
Paula and I probably walked 10 miles today and took in the sights including the Opera house and The Gold Domed Monastery in the picture just below, which was built in 1108. We actually witnessed an Orthodox service by the resident monks, and a wedding while we were there. As you can see the architecture is awesome and inspiring. The inside of it was even more so...the painting below was one of hundreds like it inside. (Paula and I were thinking of adding some domes to the new patio deck we just finished building....what do you think? :-)
I guess the big news is that tomorrow we have an appointment with the SDA to meet the psychologists and look at a few photos of children. I heard the step by step process from our facilitator, Konstantin, and he says they will show us 3 to 5 pictures of young girls and Paula and I can talk about them, ask questions and then - choose one. Thats it. Amazing such a life changing event and it all occurs in a couple of minutes.
