Market, Afternoon visit, Mina sitting up like a PRO!

Ok so after lunch we went to the market.  Here I was in their make-shift dressing room trying on a pair of pants :)  ha ha  Darla & Julia enjoyed this.  Most people just strip down and try clothes on wherever... not this modest American :)  Needless to say... i bought the pants.


In the market there is stuff everywhere.  It is narrow walk ways that are crowded with people and you have very little "Personal space." Julia is awesome cause she will ask the price of everything for us that we are interested in so that is a HUGE help!  It is sure a lot of fun going shopping with 2 women who speak English :)


They were all starting to close up shop by the time I thought to take pics so it's not very busy. How would you all like coming to do all your shopping at a place like this??  Thankfully today was a much cooler day for it! Julia says these people are here during the heat of the summer and cold in the winter everyday and get there early in the morning to set up and then tear down each day.


And this is wahat it looks like empty at the end of a busy day.... i say empty yet notice all the trash and debris left EVERYWHERE!  Julia says that someone else will come through and clean it all up.  To bad each individual person doesn't just keep there own area clean at the end of the day

  After we finished shopping we just headed back to the orphanage for the afternoon visit.  We were tired and achy after all that walking but Julia is a pro & used to all this walking.... she even does it all in high heels.  I had on tennis shoes & my feet were killing me. Here's a Cute video of Mina from our afternoon visit.  She is SITTING UP in the stroller all by herself.  i sat her up, got her balanced and she sat there for quite some time.  I am so proud of this girl.  She has come so far in just a couple of weeks.  She even fell over at one point and pulled herself back up! YAY MINA Mommy is so PROUD!!

I love when grips my hand and holds on tight... so precious!
