I have fallen in love with another man...





Thursday morning, Samara time. (2am USA time). We had an excellent dinner last night in a local Russian restaurant. Some difficulty ordering with the language barrier and menu, but we managed to enjoy a great local meal. This afternoon we head back to the orphanage to see Nikolay aka. Garrett again and spend an hour or so playing and taking in every moment. The travel to this region is tough with the time difference and flight. We are very eager to get home tomorrow and see Jordan. We find ourselves talking about her all the time. I am sure the other 4 couples that we traveled with feel the same. Oh well. Garrett is in for a wonderful life...

The hotel has a bowling alley and pub so Chris and I have managed to keep the gang out late every night. Hey we have a sitter so why not take advantage, right?? We have sampled a lot of local brews as well as other more popular Russian brands. We are walking down to the Volga river this morning and hopefully to an outdoor market for some treats to bring home.

Missing you all.... but love being over here too!!! While it will be difficult to leave Garrett... we are sure looking forward to heading home into the arms of Jordan.

Sounds like you guys are having a great trip--how come we didn't get to travel with a cool couple like you when we went? :o)
Enjoy your last day with Garrett and I cannot wait to see the pics!
Have a safe trip home and I know Jordan will be so excited to see you!
Enjoy!!
