Enjoying our afternoon coffee!

We thought it would be interesting to share a little about our hotel. So, today we’ll focus on food. We have a package deal that includes 3 meals a day. So far, we are really enjoying the meals. We definitely have plenty to eat! Fruit, fruit juices, and veggies. But most of the meals are quite heavy. It is like eating family reunion style each meal, with desserts to boot.

So we are mindful that if we are not careful, we will all come back the the U.S. a little heavier than when we came. To help with this, Brian is joining a gym. We also are running in the morning, taking turns before the children wake up. It feels very safe here to run, minus the fact that we are breathing pollution. Also, the high altitude adds a bit of difficulty. Brian is enjoying saying that he is involved in "high altitude training".
