My resourceful husband took off on an adventure to find us a more suitable hotel, and he was successful So, we have switched hotels to Courtyard Marriott in Germany. It is much better for us with a delicious breakfast included! Our first hotel had only pay-by the-minute internet in the lobby which is rather expensive and inconvenient for us since we are trying to get as much posted to our blog as possible of this trip. Courtyard provides an excellent wireless connection in our room. Apparently, in all of Europe though, you have to pay for internet extra but at least here we can get it in our room and were able to get a 3 day pass which is much less expensive than by the minute.We should be posting "Day 1 at the orphanage" today...it will probably not have video as that is taking some time to go through all of it (9hrs) and edit for posting. It's so difficult mentally to process all we have experienced in the last week; even more difficult to "translate" that to the blogosphere. We want to share this as accurately and as timely as we can.
We will be doing a little sight seeing in Germany today if the weather holds...but looks like rain.
E and J are feeling much better today; thank you all for your prayers. Germany seems much more like home...even a Starbucks on every corner! People are quite friendly here too and most places people speak English although David has remembered more of his German than he thought he would. We are heading out now and will post more later. Love to all, looking forward to getting back home soon.

Glad to see you all back in more friendly lands and feeling better.
I went to church last night and mentioned what you guys were doing. We prayed for you and I discovered, to my surprise, that one of our churchgoers is the grandmother of two Russian children (they were adopted as infants and are now around E and Js age). I learned a bit about the process from her, but it is likely old news to you.
We'll be looking forward to your return.
