We just arrived in Da Nang with Madame Chau. She has been very nice and helpful.
We had a brief but nice stay in Ho Chi Minh City. What has amazed us most is the motor bike traffic. There are tons of people riding mopeds everywhere! We have even seen families of four riding on one bike. The children either stand on the foot pad and hold on to a parent or ride on the seet between the parents. Needless to say, car seats aren't required here.
Madame Chau told us today that she has met Lee twice in the past month and that she gave him our family album about 3 weeks ago. She said he is a sweet boy who smiles all the time. She said he always seems to be happy when they speak. I'm almost in disbelief that we are going to get him in the morning.
We will leave Da Nang on Tuesday and fly up to Hanoi. Our first interview is tomorrow, we then apply for his passport which she said we should get in about one hour. We will wait in Hanoi for our second interview. The wait is for all of the paper work to go through here. Once the US Embassy is notified that we are allowed to travel with him then we will be allowed to leave. Madame Chau said she doesn't think our trip will be delayed at all. If I travel home early, I won't be able to leave until after our second interview which she is guessing will be Friday.
Trip and I are about to go out and walk around. Our driver told us that there is a beautiful bridge at the end of our street.
I'll post tomorrow for sure!

Rhissa & Trip,
We are so thrilled for you guys! I can't wait to hear about Lee. Eva is on the phone with NIc right now. She left a message on our machine earlier--too cute. She said that she had a great time with her cousins and Cheryl & Peddy Paw.
