Friday - Mercado
I woke up this morning feeling much better. I even treated myself to a manicure downstairs at the Hilton Hotel for 50birr (about $5). We also got Jordan's passport and visa so we have the green to come home!!! (All the other families got their visas as well).The Mercado is one of the places I wanted to visit. It is the largest open air market in Africa and it is a crazy place. Their are lots of people everywhere but I loved it. Bebi also told us that I do not need a guide in Ethiopia. I got so much stuff there for only 200 birr. Fil just laughs each time when it comes to price. I love to haggle and for some reason I am enjoying it. Jordan's favorite nannies came with us to the market. I know she misses Jordan (Sentayehu) very much. It was great to see her but Jordan wasn't happy to see her. Each time her nanny wanted to hold her Jordan cried and wanted me. Isn't it amazing what few day can do? I felt so bad for the nanny but it made me feel good that Jordan recognized her parents. We have been so blessed with this little girl we can already see she fits in our family. We cannot wait to be together with our kiddos at home. They are getting ready for Easter with grandma and grandpa (save some candy for us).And as you can see I did get "some' coffee. We are leaving tomorrow night.!

Such a beautiful baby and a wonderful story. God bless you and your family as you begin this new chapter in life.
Are you sure you have enough coffee!!??? I LOVE that photo of Jordan with the coffee! Too funny!
Lenka, I don't remember if I asked this yet, but will you go with us to be our shopping guide? LOL!
Love, Susan
Can you say caffeine!!
I laughed out loud when I saw the picture of Jordan in the middle of your coffee stash. That looks like about the amount I was thinking we would bring home. Gabe had to look closer and he asked, "is that all coffee?!?" I just laughed. I so could have used your negotiating skills while we were there. It sounds like you got some great deals. I can't wait to see the stash.
With Love,
