Here are some photos from today of the hotel and the closest major street to us. We didn't get very far on our walk because it was too cold.
I just had to go for a walk. I was getting cabin fever. This is where we walked. Tara's at the bottom right of one of the pictures.
Tomorrow (Monday) will be a busy day. We file some paperwork at a couple different places and pick up Elizabeth from the orphanage!
