More of Bella

It has been nearly impossible to get a good, if any connection in the village, but I was able to get a couple of photos of Bella and Emily uploaded. Tomorrow we have our final visit with Bella, then we travel back to the capitol where we will have some more paperwork done, and get some rest for an early departure for home on Saturday morning.

We Met Bella!

We are here in the village and we met Bella! She is a chubby little thing and adorable. When they first brought her to us, she looked like she might cry so I was a little hesitant to try to hold her. I gave her a few minutes and then she came to me with no problem. We took her outside to the playground and sat on the swing with her and walked her around some. She was easy to entertain and very content. There is a little playhouse on the playground and we also took her in there. She didn’t really want to play in there long though. She really wanted to sit in my lap and swing — and also Emily’s lap. So, toward the end of the visit I just sat on the swing and held her and sang to her and she ended up falling asleep on my lap. She really is very sweet!

Now, there are very few ammenities in the village. Very unlike Allysen’s region where just a simple walk around would provide sights of beauty and interest”. This is much more rural in nature, but quaint. The pace here is definately slower , like the WiFi.. I guess this is about all there is here next to the village. Actually, this is a village also, but Bella’s doesn’t have any place to stay. We are suppose to have Internet (I can’t even believe it does from the looks of it) but connecting just doesn’t always happen. We tried and tried before we finally connected but it does look like it may be a problem. We will just have to keep trying and trying. So, hopefully I will be able to post this week.

I guess we might get some interesting pictures here if we get to walk around. I hope we will be able to walk some in the village that Bella lives in. I guess it depends on if our interpreter minds staying and walking after the visits.

Here are some photos of Bella that I was fortunately able to send out today:
