#16 Prison

We went to prison this week…ok the U.S. Embassy looks like a prison so I have started calling it that. We had to take Derartu and Ayana there to start the visa paperwork. Ayana is ecstatic about cars, trucks and any other vehicle that we saw. He kept pointing them out for me to see out his window. I finally put him on my lap so he could look out the front…and then Derartu wanted to look out the window as well so she hopped on the other leg. We had to stop by the CCI office on the way back and Alizare let Ayana climb up front and honk the horn and click the turning signals on. You would have thought the sun stood still his smile was so big. He also figured out how to use the power windows - which got him in trouble when he stuck his head out the window while we were driving. The next day we had to take him to the hospital to get him the Hepatitis B vaccination. We took public transport - which he thought was totally awesome. We rode on a big bus and he just loved it. The driver actually started talking to him – which made his day. What is it going to be like for him to go in an airplane next week?
