All-American Day

On this past Sunday we had a taste of American!  A new family from Buffalo, NY joined us at El Refugio  named Tracy and Miguel.  They have been in Bogota for about five weeks now and are also adopting through FANA.  Tracy's husband had to go back to the States for work.  So they moved over to our hotel.  They are very nice and good company for this last week that we are here.  We walked to the Sunday market where we met two other adopting families from the States.  Both families are also adopting through FANA.  One family is from Minnesota and the other from Buffalo, NY.  After the market we came back to our hotel and watched the Great American Race (Daytona 500) and ate some McDonalds.  Tracy said it was the best Big Mac she has ever tasted.  I guess we are all ready to come home. Today we should be getting Benjamin's new birth certificate.  Tomorrow we go to the US Embassy for his passport.  Please pray that the last remaining steps go well.  If all goes well we will be returning home by this weekend.
