Open air market

Today Eric and Cindy Nole showed us where the street market was located.  It is about a 10 minute walk from our apartment.  They had some very nice produce, trinket stands, and of course meat and fish.  It is a very busy place.  We bought some apples for Vikas group at the orphanage and a pen, because we did not bring a pen with us.  We thought they would take it at the airport, I guess they don't.
About 3:30 we received the phone call that our driver was coming and he took us to the orphange.  Went we went to Vikas group room and she had the key for the art room all ready, where we go to visit, and she kept saying in Russian, lets go, lets go!    We gave Vika the Christmas card Micks Mom and Dad sent over for her, and the card and notebook and pencil Karena sent for her.  She was very touched that people had sent things for her.  She was showing differnt people her card and she would say, babushka and diaduska.  At the art room several other children came to visit us.  We had brought some word search books, and the children loved them. Eric, Cindy, and Tina were also there and all the kids like to play with Eric.  We got to stay until about 6:30 and then came back to the apartment and ate. It is now time to sleep, we are enjoying our days and look forward to the next.
