Day 11- Lunch

After we were free to go we met up with one of my friends from college. We headed back to the Italian restaurant for some delicious food! I ordered the green gnocche (I can't remember how to spell it) BUT it was fabulous!! Had a four cheese sauce on top. Excellent and very rich. I think everyone at the table had a bite, and Deacon ate half of it. The others had lasagna and brick oven pizza. All of it was soooo good!

Day 11- Waiting on the Consulate

Today we got up had breakfast and headed back to the room. We had to stay there from 9:30- whenever they called us from the consulate. We got our call about 11:00 saying all our paperwork was good to go. They needed us to stay in the room in case they had a question about anything. All of us in our group got a call that all was good. So to pass the time we hung out in the room and hallway and played.

 

We found Deacon a Made in China shirt. :)

Day 10- Palate picture

We wanted to get a picture of his palate. This will also help those of you to understand what it is that he has. Basically the roof of his mouth is split in two so there is a hole up to his nasal cavity. Sometimes when he is eating and he sneezes, which has happened several times, we get food out the nose. :) 

Second pic- After swimming we went and changed clothes and went to eat at a German restaurant. The main restaurant was not available because a wedding reception was being held inside. So they also had an old train that you could eat in. The atmosphere was neat, the food was so so. Mine was good, Todd's meat was still frozen in the middle. :)

Day 10- Deacon Boy!

Day 10- The pool

We took a trip to the pool with some friends. Deacon did alright for just a little bit, and then he was DONE! He wanted out. So he had a good time just running around on the grass next to the pool. We got some great shots of him and us that our friend took for us. The pool area is very lush! We may have to try again before we leave.
