Day 22 (for real this time) and 23 (Christmas time is here again!)

Day 22

Most of us had stayed the night at the Brewer's and the rest came over early, before most people were up actually. We had a fun time of more goofing around with the five girls before heading back to the hotel for showers.

In the afternoon we returned to the orphanage in Dai Loc to hangout with the kids and play games with them. It was a lot of fun! We did a massive hopscotch, hot potato catch, chalk drawings, and some tag. They were a rather rambunctious group once they warmed up to us.

Then that night we went to Promise House for about an hour. We were supposed to hangout with the kids while they wrote their supporters letters, however, the woman in charge of it had some issue with her taxi.
 Cori made some sick pancakes that included Sprite and cinnamon
 It's okay to be a little shy.






Day 23

Today was  a pretty chill day. We addressed Christmas cards to all of Orphan Voice's supporters. I think Cori enjoyed it the most because she loves Christmas! She doodled on all her cards. If you get an envelope in the mail with a Christmas tree or a swirly star design, it was probably in Cori's set.

After dinner some of us went on the Sun Wheel, which is a huge farris wheel in Da Nang. It is the twelfth tallest in the whole world, there is only one that is taller in the U.S. somewhere in Nevada. It moves really slow. So slow in fact that you get on and off while it is moving, and at one point one of the girls, I'll not mention who, was convinced that it had stopped...it hadn't. 


 Escalator shenanigans. It is wonderful how these girls can make anything fun!

 They are not the best photos because it was pouring, again. However, I think you get the idea.
