Landed in Almaty

We just landed in Almaty without issue.  Weather is great.  Natalia (regional coordinator) and Anna (original interpreter) met us at airport.  Shera Hotel is very nice with big rooms and plumbing.  Monte is filling out our US Embassy paperwork now.  We will pick up Nina and say goodbye to the babyhouse in the morning.  Then we go to the SOS Medical Clinic for the post-adoption physical, required for the file, at 3 pm.  US Embassy appointment is set for Thursday at 3 pm.  At that point, we should be done and clear to leave as scheduled on Friday.  Everything seems in order, and we even received Nina's passport.  Check it out below.  Looking forward to a fun day with Nina tomorrow.  Will try to sleep now.  More to come.
