First off…here is my disclaimer for all posts. I do these on my iPad and it messes up my words and is extremely difficult to edit so I know all of the posts are a mess. Sorry… Now you know what it’s like to be a first grade teacher trying to read kid’s writing! Our …
Well today had some very happy moments, but really it was just kind of sad. HOT SPRINGS We all went to the Hot Springs this morning for a very nice and relaxing time. It was beautiful as are most things here (except the traffic and pollution). The girls played and we soaked in the natural …
Kim and I in the grocery store We had a low key day today. We were trying to use the food we had so our breakfast was a bit unusual. Kim made guacamole from the HUGE avacodo to put with chips and fruit. Later we walked to the store in the rain! Lanie was …
We decided to go to the Parque del Cafe today. It is an absolutely beautiful amazement park/ coffee and Colombia history tour. We were told it would take 1 1/2 – 2 hours to get there. It took 3 hrs of twisty turns roads. We were all a bit sick by the time we arrived. …
Today we planned to do a girl’s beauty day. Well… That didn’t quite work out how we hoped it would. Instead my sister and Alli spent a lot of time together playing games and talking while I spent most of the day dealing with “challenges”. We did get about 30 min. of Alli and I …
We were very excited for Kim to come. Her travel was smooth which was great. She said she felt like she didn’t talk for 2 days during the travel since she couldn’t speak Spanish. Lanie LOVES Kim. Actually she loves Kim a bit too much. She wants to attach to her instead of me because I …
Since I can’t post a picture of Lanie yet, I thought I’d help you envision her. She is a Hispanic Shurley Temple. Just as fun, bubbly, and feisty as Shurley and she looks like her too. You know that look Shurley Temople has where she squints her eyes, puckers her lips like a fish and …
Many of the events of the day were nice. We toured the large cathedral here, walked through downtown which they had blocked off from cars because the bicycle tour of Colombia was coming through (too bad Scott wasn’t here for that) and enjoyed lunch with our friend and the boys. Actually I toured part of …
MORE PAPERWORK Our attorney picked us up and took us to sign more papers so Scott could go back to the US today. We didn’t have the translator with us so it was quite humorous. Our Attorney is crazy funny in a good way. Scott says we should have an entire blog post titled “Adventures …
We visited a coffee farm today and took a tour of how the process works. WOW! There is a lot of work that goes into growing and harvesting the coffee bean. Coffee grows well here due to the climate and elevation. This also means it grows on the side of mountains resulting in all harvesting …
