Leila, our coordinator, took all four families' documents to the Consulate at 9 a.m. while we all waited in our hotel rooms in case she had to call us about a problem. Fortunately, we got the all clear call shortly after 11. All that's left is the oath ceremony tomorrow afternoon.
Other than an unfortunate incident involving a Starbucks Dark Mocha and some hotel bedding, we spent the time in the room playing, trying on Leah's new clothes, and starting to pack for our trip home.
Leah made herself a little nest inside the TV cabinet:

After we got the call that everything was in order, we had some lunch and a nap, and then this afternoon we headed with the Walling family to a multi-story wholesale shopping mall. We didn't find too much that we absolutely had to have, but it was fun to look.
It started raining this morning and POURED all day. I thought we had rain in Oregon, but this was big fat tropical rain. We walked to dinner tonight, which resulted in all of us getting soaked. We had one umbrella, which Molly and Leah shared, but even they were pretty wet. It was warm, though - nearly 80 degrees.

Another wonderful day with the Cotter family.....Harry and I really look forward to your photos and commentary !!!! You all look very happy and Leah took a pretty good picture. I feel sure you are tired of the hotel/suitcases/eating out all the time, etc. But, don't let it ruin your dream vacation with a fabulous purpose !!!!
Love from all of us to you
