Surviving the Social Worker Vist...Katowice and Krakow...

Tuesday was our visit with the social worker/psychologist... we survived despite my stress out on how to make coffee with a pot and water. I ended up going and buying instant thanks to another mom's advice who has done all this before. The orphanage director came as well and said she would request us going home 2 weeks after court... please pray this happens. As my mom has always said, I'm a total home body. I just don't feel the need to be anywhere more than a week.

We've been site seeing this past week as much as we can. We are staying on the outskirts of Katowice so we've been into Katowice a few times. It's really neat and different how city life carries on... something we'd probably think even if we were in New York. We bus everywhere...it's not that bad however the whole time I'm usually holding my breath because it's hot and there are no windows or A/C, praying Reese doesn't touch something and stick her fingers in her mouth, and kicking myself for not having hand sanitizer wipes for all of us. Ha! Other than that, it's cheap and is saving us money. :)

Today we went to Krakow. We chartered a bus there and it cost us only $10 round trip for all 3 of us. We are quite impressed with ourselves!! It was fun. There are long streets with stores, restaurants, and alcohol shops all up and down that lead to a big center. I had fun finding some cool stuff... hand made Easter eggs, an amber ring for Reese when she is older (let's hope it's not fake), and our Dads a souvenir.

Here a few pictures of Old Krakow...

 People were dressed up and you could take pictures if you tipped them. These were our favorites.

We are getting closer to court on Tuesday!! Then get ready for social media to explode with pictures of Reese!! :)
