Day 12 - We have Contact!

Hello everyone. Lisa and I arrived in Svaliava yesterday around noon and it has been a hectic past 36 hours. It has taken all of this time just to find a connection to the world via the internet, so we apologise for the brief post. Now that we found this bar (it's in the basement of a row of houses in the middle of some back woods part of town) we will try to give lots of details tomorrow.

All that to say, Lisa and I have now visited the orphanage 3 times to meet a beautiful little girl named Galina (which is to become her new middle name). She seems very healthy and already recognizes us when we arrive with big smile.

Lisa and I could not be happier and already miss not being around her.

We are living in the one commercial hotel in town (about 20 mins walk to orphanage) and the owners are amazing. If everything is open tomorrow, we will provide a pile of details for you all.
