The Center of the City

(This is Chris)

Today was another good day. We went swimming in the morning to cool off after our walk to the store.

We instituted a "quiet time" after lunch today to see if Angee would take a nap. It took her 2o minutes, but she did go to sleep. We are going to try to stick to this as much as possible. (Children here do not take naps, but she REALLY needs to have one!)

In the afternoon, Jose took us to the center of the city to the main square (or plaza). Each city has a main plaza. The one here is called Bolivar Plaza. It was nice to walk around and look in stores and see the government buildings. We also walked into a huge Catholic church. It was really tall on the inside. While walking down the streets, there was a wonderful smell of fried something. I wanted some of it, but it takes a long time for all of us to buy and eat a snack.

We think our sentencia is Thurs or Fri. After that takes place, we should be able to have a better idea of when we come home.

We posted some pictures of the last few days. Hope you enjoy them! Buenos Noches!

Hi Guys,
We are outta here! We leave tomorrow morning at 10:30am. We love Colombia, but it isn´t home. The kids are excited about seeing their new home - or maybe it´s just the ride in the "avion". See you at home!
