And Then There Were Two...
Jo Ann left the apartment this morning with our coordinator at about 5:30 for her 8:10 flight to Amsterdam. Last night we tried the best we could to explain to Rosa what was going on. Rosa seemed to take it OK, but she did cry when she went to bed. I now have a world map hanging up in the apartment with our route home and the number of days left before we travel.
I still haven't heard if Rosa's passport has arrived. I'm expecting a call anytime from our coordinator that it is here and that we can go down and get Rosa's medical exam.
Our coordinator wanted me to have some snapshots of Jo Ann, Rosa, and me just in case there were any problems at the embassy, so Rosa and I walked down to a photo place today and luckily, the guy that worked there spoke English. We also went shopping this morning and got some bread and milk.
We haven't really been using the kitchen in the apartment because it was so dirty when we got here. We did clean up the microwave so we might use that. We're on our fourth jar of peanut butter here.
We heard yesterday that Jo Ann's mom's funeral will actually be on Friday and the viewing will be on Thursday night. I guess with Jo Ann making it home a day earlier, they moved everything up a day earlier as well.
The weather has gotten a little warmer. The snow is melting and now we walk everywhere in slush.
