And on the 13th day, they rested.
Today, we decided to stay around the hotel and have a restful day. We walked through the gardens (the hotel’s name is the Garden Hotel, after all) which were really lovely. The girls loved watching the koi in the various ponds as they flocked to the nearest human. The waterfall must be 60 feet high, and is a pretty awesome sight. And to think that all of this greenery is in the middle of the city is pretty amazing.
After relaxing all day, we met the other parents in our group for a group picture and a Malaysian dinner. It was fun to sit down and chat with the other parents a little bit while enjoying one of the nicest (and cheapest) restaurants in the area.
Tomorrow’s the big day – Consulate day. If all of the paperwork is perfect, we’ll swear Sophie in tomorrow afternoon and get her visa by Friday. Prayers are appreciated.
