Wow-waking up at the White Swan is pretty amazing. Breakfast is wonderful-French toast, bacon and chocolate cake that is great! We love it! Anna Grace is even eating! So much better than our other breakfast buffets. We ate lunch at Lucy's. Hamburgers and french fries that were great! Our guide, Elvin, is the best! At dinner he even brings big bottles of coke and water so that we have plenty to drink. It is customary to be served only one small glass of beverage during dinner. Elvin orders great food and drinks for everyone. We are so lucky to have him. We walked around the island and enjoyed looking in the shops. Elvin took us to a beautiful park. The flowers and trees were gorgeous. It is so wild how warm it is here. We are sweating and we have no clothes that are cool enough. What a change. From freezing to melting.
Elvin is so great with Andrew. He communicates so well with him. It is so reassuring to have him tell us what Andrew is saying. He keeps telling us how smart and quick to respond he is. Andrew really warmed up to me again this afternoon. He keeps asking for me and I love it. Anna Grace is doing so good. She is wonderful at sharing and being kind to him. All of the kids have done great and we are so proud of them. It has been such a hard trip and they have done wonderful.

So glad you have Elvin there to communicate with Andrew. It won't be long though before Andrew starts speaking English. Karys was 2.5 when we adopted her and she just did not talk at all until after we were home for several weeks and then it was not Chinese. Oh, and she has not stopped since! :-0
