2 more days

Monday night we did have papa johns pizza. Zoe's first time having pizza and she loved it.In true pontillo fashion she even ate it cold the next day. Tuesday we went to the American consulate . Tevin stayed in the hotel as it was his "naptime" Me and Zoe walked to the white swan hotel to catch the bus with many others parents. The consulate is now a 25 min drive from the island. The buses were packed and one little girl cried the whole way.Zoe was fine sitting on my lap until we were almost there when she started her "neow neow" meaning she has to go the bathroom.She repeats this in a "redrum" tone(the shining). I knew she did not have to go as she went before we left. I am starting to think that she does this when she wants to change what we are doing.Zoe is such a happy little girl. She really has only cried that first day for a little while and now she cries when she doesnt get her own way.At the consulate we had to go to the window so they could see in person that we were the right people. then the director came out talked about what a happy event this was and had us swear to the info,then we recieved the brown envelope that we have to give to someone at the airport in Detroit.  We are ready to come home. I can not get my bank card to work so now we are counting every penny. Its too bad cuz there are so many good deals here. 
         We said good bye to Corey and Jack.Both of them have been great travel mates, very easy going and fun. The 3 of us then when to the Swan to catch a taxi with a friend of Lily's down to the Boat dock.We didnt get the dinner buffet tickets  but we had window seats. the boat was beautiful, very english tea like. we were served tea immediately, even Zoe, and then soup and then a carry out container of rice,chicken and egg and greens. so we ended up with dinner anyways. The boat tour was pretty neat . we couldnt understand anything that was said but the lights were pretty cool. When we return we had a little trouble catching a taxi back but finally made it . we walked to the hotel and ended up purchasing the last few gifts. Tevin decided(finally) that he did want a chinese suit. It is being made for him and will be ready weds afternoon.It cost less than 16$ . i wish I had more funds I would be getting suits for all the boys .Zoe had some more ice cream tonight and then in her crib for sleep. She is a great kid . she "did" our hair today with 6 barrettes and a ponytail.Only 2 more days  , we still dont have seats together on the planes.  enjoy the pictures,: Zoe with pizza and a message for her big sisters,the boat trip, and some others..
   take care .. Bonnie
