The Hottest Friday of My Life!!!

OMG! It is SO HOT. SO HOT. SO HOT.
It's 95 with bright sun and the weather says 97 but "feels like 103." Yeah, and then some...OMG!
And the next two days are supposed to be HOTTER (98 and 99). We will be spending most of our time in our hotel and hotel pool. There is no way to accurately describe HOW HOT THIS IS!

After breakfast we went to the little bakery (where the young lady who I like so much works) to pick up more cookies, and thank them for the birthday cake. Then we did a little (just a little) shopping. We came back to our room, played with Sarah, and then went to dim sum at one of the restaurants in our hotel. After lunch, we spent an hour in the rooftop pool. Sarah is SUCH A LITTLE FISH. She LOVES the water. She dunked her own head underwater multiple times, and was laughing. What a change from her first bath on Monday night when she was hysterically crying when I carefully washed her hair. Sarah's in for a nap right now. We are planning to eat dinner in one of the restaurants in our hotel tonight, as our guide, Alexa is coming this evening, around 7 or 8, to prepare the documents for our Consulate appointment at the U.S. Embassy which is Monday.

Here are photos from our time swimming:
Looking at Daddy (who was taking the photo)

so much fun!

 Today Sarah was willing to let go of Mommy and put both hands in the water, splashing, and waving them back and forth in t he water.

dunking one side of her head in the water (and loving it!)

Just after she dunked her entire head back into the water and loved it.

practicing her backkick


pure happiness

so happy!

Sarah in her beachrobe and ready to head back to the hotel room for nap. (She was asleep in less than 2 minutes, after an hour in the pool.)

Ready for dinner.
