Quick Update

This is a short post that is two fold. One is to tell you that the embassy trip "take-two" was uneventful. We are waiting for a doctors appointment, then for a call from the embassy for the final interview - and then we are done! Our prayer is that we will not need to change our ticket from the 19th to the 21st, or even better, change it to the 17th so we don't have to move from the apartment.

The other news is that even though the Tsunami wave is predicted to affect Peru, and yes, we are 2 blocks from the beach, we have about 100 meters of cliff between us and the ocean. Our first blog since we arrived has a good picture of the cliff. They are also predicting the effect to be pretty small here. So pray for no damage to the country of Peru and our safety, but know that we are in a safe area. We can also head, if need be, to down-town Lima away from the coast.

Today we were invited by the head lawyer of this adoption to go to his country club, have lunch (awesome!!!) and take the kids swimming. It was an amazing treat we don't know when we will have again! Hope you can see the pelicans in the picture of the stone jetty; they were huge! Unfortunately they kicked everybody out at 3 and closed due to tsunami warnings. Lia slept through most of it on the couch of a very fancy restaurant in there - bet it was a first for them.

Thank you for your prayers. We will let you know of any tsunami news that would affect us .
