In Between Day

Nothing really exciting to report today. We're back at Travelers Coffee this afternoon. Had to update our itinerary and get it back to our adoption agency. We were able to do a few loads of laundry yesterday and this morning. We just relaxed a bit and watched Sweet Home Alabama, poor Jason is going to be watching a lot of chic-flicks. We just don't have a lot of options, other than the Olympics in Russian. Which really is not so bad, they just don't show a lot of Americans (which of course makes sense!)

Travelers Coffee has an amazing selection of desserts. So every time we come we get one, which means we need to stop coming to Travelers Coffee! :)

After this we're headed back to "Wal-Martski" to see if we can pick up some small groceries to take with us tomorrow to Novokuznetsk. We're just not sure where a grocery store is there and thought we should take advantage of this nice, big one!

We'll be headed out tomorrow morning again around 7:30am. We'll be going to the orphanage again (YEAH!) and then after a few hours with the kids, Alexei and Natasha (the new driver and translator from the other part of the region) will be picking us up to take us to The Guest House, the same hotel we stayed at the last time we were in Novokuznetsk. Thanks to Monica for confirming there is a Travelers Coffee there too! If you are reading this, email me back your email address on the forum or on this blog and I can email you more details. And if you're reading this, can you give me more direction to the Travelers Coffee? Is it down to the right when you come out of the gate of the hotel? Or down to the right when you are on that main street in front of the hotel? Thanks!

I have to stop typing now. Its Jason's turn to use the computer. :) More in the next few days!

    I've been trying to look up the locations of your hotel and Traveler's Coffee but can't find your hotel on Google Maps! You said it was called the Guest House, right? I know, not much help here. :(

    and Travelers Coffee is on that main street that runs in front of Hotel Novokuznetskaya... so walk out front past the fountain and there is that yellow & blue FORK and SPOON restaurant on your right. Walk that direction past FORK & SPOON and T.C. is on the same side of the road about 3 blocks away on that main road. Hope that helps! :)
