Good news - we had our second interview this afternoon and the baby's visa should be ready tomorrow afternoon! If it's not ready tomorrow, it will be on Monday. So, we are going to the Korean Air office tomorrow to check on flight arrangements, but right now it looks like we could be flying home on Wednesday.
Yesterday we went to Lenin Park on the edge of Hanoi - Doug was disappointed that we could not find the actual Lenin statue, but it was still nice to be outside in fairly clean air and to see some trees and grass. There were tons of schoolchildren there and they all swarmed Tommy's stroller and were saying "Hello, Goodbye" over and over. It was hilarious. There was also an interesting water feature - if you've ever seen the show Most Extreme Challenge on FX, it was kind of like one of the stunts they have....Doug wanted to try one out, but maybe next time.
This morning we received Tommy's Vietnamese passport - the only good passport picture I've ever seen! After that we went to the SOS Clinic for his adoption medical, and all of the nice nurses and doctors were happy to see him feeling much better. We initially didn't think we had approval for our second interview, but after a phone call to the embassy, we learned that we did indeed. So, this afternoon all of the families went back to the embassy for our "interview" and now we just wait for the travel visas. Very fast. Very, very fast.
Will post more tomorrow when we know about our return flights!
Goodnight from Hanoi,
Tara, Doug, and Thomas

That bubble water ride looks really neat. I think I'd pass trying it; I think plane rides are the most adventurous I'll get. So once you get Tommy's visa, are you technically finished? I love those pics of Tommy; he is so photogenic.
