We are leaving the hotel in the morning about 4:00 am. We are heading home. Praise God!! I would not trade this experience for the world but I will be so happy to be back in the states. I am really excited about American food. I don't think Samantha will be though. I think we have a picky eater on our hands. I think I need to learn to cook some Thai food. They eat alot of rice at the orphanage. So, I definitely need to stock up on some rice. This top picture is the girls playing a Thai video game. They had fun at the mall. Samantha was glued to her friend She pulls away from us if there are any Thai people around but when it is just us. She will hold our hand and let us rub her back etc. She seems to be ready to go to America but she is scared to death. She is afraid that we will leave her at the hotel. She is still afraid she will be lonely in America. She does not try to talk to us. I think she thinks that it is no use because she can not understand us and we cannot understand her. She does understand alot though. We let her call Vo at the orphanage today and I think that was good. We just need some time and alot of these things will work out. The lunch pictured here was the choice of her friend and Samantha for lunch. Do you see the fish floating in it. I guess she likes fish scales and all.

The girls seemed to enjoy the boat ride. The last picture is the exhausted crew after a long day at the zoo. We will see you all on Sunday. We need to start packing. Love ya , Jay and Anita and Samantha
