Leaving kras tomorrow

We had a nice dinner tonight with a couple adopting from same orphanage. She had a lot to share, as it is their 2nd adoption from there. Huge Soup spoons to eat with, 3 course meals, 180 babies in that orphanage, no thumb sucking, caregivers are called mama, they all sit on the potty and sing a little song, and she spoke some Russian to roman. She also told us about a little game with the nesting dolls the caregiver was playing. It was nice to speak real English without hand gestures or creatively trying to communicate with our coordinator.

Every time roman hears the sound of high heels clomping, he starts turning his head around to look. That definitely comes from all the ladies at the orphanage. He stares at men- he probably hasn't seem many previously.
It's the little things you don't think about.

He got the attention of some older Russian ladies, both having many gold teeth. He didn't know what to think. Me either. I just smiled and nodded my head.

Took a little exercise in the plaza for roman and here's a pic of the clock that always chimes. I have looked to buy one like it, with no luck.

I haven't bought much this trip mainly because there is no room in my bag!! I'll probably have to pay $$$ tomorrow for the extra weight.

Krasnoyarsk is a nice city.
Passport for roman at 12. Flying to Moscow tomorrow at 4 kras time. (4.5 hr flt, 4 hr time change) Arrive Moscow 5:30 Moscow time . Hour drive to hotel. Should be interesting. Don't you envy me?
