We did a little shopping this morning but are learning that nothing opens up until around 10 or 11 AM. We bought a couple of things for people and then came home since it was raining. It is the beginning of the monsoon season here so when it rains it isn’t the Florida 1 PM showers for 30 minutes. It is all day and everyday for a while.
We waited around at the hotel for Owen’s doctor’s appointment at Holt. We got a couple of gifts, again, from the foster parents. Some tubes of red pepper paste and five bottles of Soju (Korean vodka) – might take us a while to get rid of the pepper paste. He was given a clean bill of health except for a little swollen tonsil due to a little fever he had Monday and Tuesday.
The foster parents then invited us over to their house for some coffee. It was the most wonderful experience! They had their elderly neighbor who worked at the army base translate for us. We had coffee and some watermelon, which is in season. Before we got there he apologized for their old condo/apartment building. Oh, if he knew how my house looks. We spent about an hour there watching Owen in his own environment. It was just wonderful to see how they live, which actually wasn’t much different than the way we do. They said that we were the first adoptive parents they had invited over which was great. You can definitely tell that he is loved which is wonderful. 
We are going to go to Outback Steakhouse tonight for dinner, that’s right, Outback! We don’t feel like wandering around in the rain looking for a good Korean restaurant that either has something in pictures or English.
