The first full day

The day was long but we filled it the best we could without unveiling EVERY toy. We've got a large supply tucked away but want to rotate things but a couple of puzzles can only do so much! We had breakfast, played a bit, went to the market, came back to the room to unload, went briefly to a small play area near the hotel (but it's HOT and the sun was blazing). Then we had lunch in the room and then went CRAZY inside the confines of its walls, so we decided it was time for another walk.

We did dodge a near-calamity; both girls took their dolls on our walk to the market and only one made it with hers (Leah, Hope's was MIA) and we feared it gone for good. However, on our walk back to the hotel we found that some wonderful Russian stranger had placed it in the iron fence outside a home and we reclaimed her. Thanks kind Russian stranger!

Here is a glimpse of today.






Nightgowns and shoes; doesn't everyone have our fashion sense?
