We're here, we're tired

Just got into Hanoi a couple hours ago. We are tired, and not very smart right now, so this will be brief.

First, some photos from the journey -



The "Hello Kitty" gate at the Taipei airport:





Noodle Soup -- its all we've been eating so far


(havent figured out how to rotate photos on the blog yet. after 30 or so hours of travel, i dont really care, either)


Tallia getting massaged by a blind man at Taipei Airport




TOMORROW is the big day (well, one of the big days that we'll have over here, but this is the best one). We leave the hotel at 6:20 a.m. for the ride to the orphanage, where we will meet our little munchkin.

I'd go on and on about how excited we are, but we're both just too tired right now to function enough to clearly write much more. (awesome sentence structure there!) Tomorrow night (that should be Monday morning US time) will be the good blog post - photos of us w/ baby.
keep praying/thinking good stuff -- we need beau coup Karma for adoption processing w/o any trouble.
lots of tired love,
mark & tallia

Mark and Tal-

Saw pics of you holding your daughter. Awesome. She's beautiful and can't wait for you to get home.
Have not burned the place down yet, but I have plenty of time.

Cheers to the new Mom and Dad.
