Saturday - our last day and only a few hours



The orphanage agreed to let us come early on Saturday to spend a little over an hour with Maya before we get on the train to go back to Warsaw. She was so excited to see us and we had a great morning. We played patty-cake, danced, hugged the animals, and laughed.
Leaving was hard. She was so happy to see us when we got there, you just didn't want to leave after such a short time. In addition, we couldn't explain to her why we were leaving or where we were going. No one spoke english on Saturday so we tried to explain what we were leaving. We left Maya with a little photo album with pictures of us and a picture of her on the front. We also left a disposable camera for them to take pictures of the people who have taken care of her and her friends. We have no idea if they will do that, but we think she may like the pictures later.
