We started off another day with ice “so cold it hurts” showers. Our interpreter says we will have three days of no hot water because they are replacing some pipes in the city. I've added a photo of our apartment.
Our driver picked us up around 9 am and dropped us off at the Baby House. We did not get a good reception from Robert today! He definitely didn’t want to hang around us today. He cried and cried and then hid under a desk. Some of the workers went and got his main caregiver to whom he seems really attached. He came out from under the desk for her and she talked with him about us. We showed him lots of pictures of Russell and his caregiver explained that he was going to be Robert’s big brother. He finally got a little more comfortable with us and started to play with the toys we brought him. Today we tried cars and a coloring book. Tomorrow we’re going to try puzzles because he seems to like doing things with his hands. When it came time to leave he did give us hugs but I think it was because he was happy to get to be going back to his friends.
After our driver took us back to our apartment we walked to Mad Murphy’s Irish Pub for lunch. It’s a pub that a lot of Americans go to. It’s pretty good and you can get a burger but it’s higher priced than most restaurants. Then it was back home to watch FOX News. That’s about the only English speaking TV we get. Last time we were here we had a sitcom and movie channel.
Luggage update: Anastacia was told that our luggage is in Tokyo!!!
