Just another day



We went to the barbeque yesterday. It was held outside of town on a very large piece of property. There was a big house, a swimming pool, a cabana and a bar area complete with grill , outside showers and bathrooms. There was also a soccer fields and a playground for the children. There were several other estates surrounding the property. These were the only single family type residences (with lawns) we have seen here in Colombia. When we left we dropped off two little girls and went to areas we have not been before so it was like a tour for us.

The kids had fun. JP swam almost the entire time. Maria ran around playing with the other kids. There were mango trees everywhere. Whenever you wanted one you just plucked it from the tree. The first bite was like......OK i'm not sure about this although after several bites it was good. We left a little after 2pm, came back to the room, washed the kids and put them down for a nap. They didnt wake until 5. Wendy put on Sound of Music for them and they really liked it. About 6:30 we went for dinner. We horsed around the room for about an hour after dinner then the kids went back to bed. It's 7:45 now and the kids have just awakened.

Today we are suppost to meet Dolly at 10 am. Hopefully we have great news. I need to notorize several forms today giving Wendy permission to travel with the kids back to the States without me. It's the Colombian law. Without this she would not be able to travel with the kids.

I leave Sunday to return home. My flight is at 9 am and I arrive in Bogata at 10pm. I dont leave Bogata unil 8pm. Over 10 hours in a an airport that no one speaks English bymyself is not goint to be a fun day! Oh well. I'll update later if we hear any news this morning.
