CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Well, despite the ruling in his favor, Juan Miguel Gonzalez is not yet able to take his son home to Cuba. CNN's Bob Franken is outside the residence in Washington where Elian and his father are saying. And of course, Bob, the big question is: For how long are they going to stay?</s>BOB FRANKEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And also: What are they going to do in the period of time they have left? They are, after all, in one of the tourist spots on the world, Washington D.C., there are a lot of sites nearby. Don't be surprised if in the next several days we see them take a couple of field trips to wile the time away, while the lawyers make their final move in what looks to be now a foregone conclusion in the minds of just about everybody that this is just about over. And as a matter of fact, when Juan Miguel Gonzalez appeared before reporters after the ruling that went so much in his favor yesterday, he, in effect, said: Let's get this over with.</s>JUAN MIGUEL GONZALEZ, ELIAN'S FATHER (through translator): I love him very much. And I would hope that this would come to an end and finally go back home together with my son and my whole family; and that this delay do not continue unnecessarily, as soon as possible.</s>FRANKEN: Now, Juan Miguel Gonzalez has made it absolutely clear he wants to return to Cuba, but also has repeatedly gone out of his way to say that he has appreciated the hospitality he's gotten in this country, and the Spanish-speaking Gonzalez went to extra pains yesterday to deliver that message.</s>GONZALEZ: I want to thank the American people, thank you.</s>FRANKEN: And so most observers believe that it is just a matter of time until Gonzalez will get his wish, will be taking his son back to Cuba, where the language is Spanish and the life would be a return to normalcy. Bob Franken, CNN live, Washington.</s>LIN: Thank you, Bob.
