Another day in the city

Touring Bangalore's Botanical Garden

Scott is thinking of selling Kathy's Yukon and purchasing something more economical like this for our family to ride together; It apparently seats up to four. Wait a second, I bet we could make room for one more on top of the gas tank.

Touring the Maharaja of Mysore's summer palace

Shopping for a saree and kurtas. Scott wants to know which of these beautiful women is from Bangalore? Scott was impressed with Kathy's shrewd business deal; She talked the nice lady in the green saree down to less than half of the original asking price.

Eating pizza and pasta in Bangalore's UB City outside and on top of Bangalore's "galleria." This area reminded us of the Sugar Land Town Center. The dress, which was very casual and western, was not something we had seen in India, for most women wear sarees.

Scott found his "Starbucks" and it's much cheaper. We love the name Mom.

Today was a fun day again touring the city. We saw many interesting sights and met many friendly people.

Tomorrow will be the big day we've waited a year for. VCT (the orphan care center) will pick us up at 10:30 our time which is around midnight your time. We will probably arrive around 11:30am at the center. We ask you to pray for Hope as she first meets us and please pray for the foster family as well. They will be losing a very special little girl. We appreciate so much your prayers already and we can see God's presence everywhere with us. We know He prepared tomorrow and has already gone before us. We will look forward to sharing with you our day and new pictures of Hope Anjali in our arms.

We thank you too for all the emails and blog posts. We are loving reading them!

Just fyi, West is having a blast with his cousins in Keller. Now, he and my mom are headed to Louisiana and will see the rest of the Evans' clan. It's been a blessing to be able to email him and send pictures too. We are very thankful for the communication we have with all of you. We thank God for how you have been and are on this journey with us through prayer.

We love you guys,

Scott and Kathy

Scott helped write the blog tonight. He is well rested.
