Meeting Miles

We have arrived in Addis Ababa, slept, eaten, met Miles, and are about to sleep again.
The introduction of each child to their adoptive parents is touching, as each is brought out, oldest to youngest, one at a time. One couple is adopting sisters in the 3-5 year old range, and they both had hugs and kisses for everyone in the room.
Miles is a cuddler, took a brief nap on Joanne, allowed me to feed him a bowl of cream-of-something soup, and seems willing to roll with whatever we have planned. He immediately warmed up to Joanne, but needed some time to size me up. We will spend part of each day with him (except Sunday), and we also get to play with the other children in the center as they often play as a pack.
We had a nice dinner at a local restaraunt with the other three adopting couples and our two drivers. Total cost of dinner for 10: $23. There are some upsides to the long trip.
Addis is an intersting city, and we will have more to report after we go to the large outdoor market next week. I will neveer claim to having "seen Ethiopia" after this stay: that would be like claiming to having visited the US and not leaving Brooklyn.
No pictures while we're away- the modem is too slow. We will update with photos after we return.
