We had an early morning flight to the city where we will be adopting our daughter. It is in western Kazakhstan, so it was a rather long flight from Almaty. We haven't seen much of the city other than what we saw driving in. It is quite a bit colder here. It was 41 degrees when we landed this morning around 9:30.
We were on the flight with another adoptive family from Memphis. They are a nice couple. They are hoping to adopt a baby girl.
Last night we went to a cafe and ordered a pizza. Based on all that I had read on other blogs, I was expecting some strange things on it such as mayonaise and cucumbers, but it was only cheese and red sauce. It wasn't too bad. The cheese tasted rather salty though.
I imagine all of the entries after this will have a lot more detail. I think all of the real work on our adoption starts tomorrow, including our first meeting with our daughter. There is a chance that we will be meeting with someone from the Ministry of Education today. You normally dress up to meet people from there, but of course, we still don't have our missing suitcase. It is supposed to arrive tomorrow morning at 9:00.
