Hallelujah, we received Elijah's American Visa and everything appears in order! Today we spent packing and walking outside (since it's the first day here without precipitation). We walked to a street market a block away. We enjoyed cheap local cuisine for lunch. I thought it was a Chinese pancake, but turns out it was filled with cabbage and meat. Yummy! We tried walking into what we thought was a park, until guards told us "No!" As we turned to walk away, we realized it was a Muslim tomb. Oops, the entrance was very well landscaped anyway. We walked around our hotel's courtyard instead, which has nice water features. Finally a beautiful day!
