Today has been a fun-filled day...
On Sundays, the chefs make a special breakfast of french toast or pancakes. Here are our new coffee mugs that we bought at the craft shop yesterday. We are already creating many wonderful memories together with them. (Lucia loves coffee).
This is the Colombian doll Lucia picked out at the craft shop. She is wearing a traditional Colombian dress.
We went to church this morning at United Church of Bogota. It is nice b/c we are getting to know folks there and they are recognizing us. Again, we had a wonderful time.
When we got back to the hotel, we found that we were going to have a cookout. This is Berta and Herman, some of our wonderful chefs. Lunch is the biggest meal of the day in Colombia.
Pictured here is Inez, who is one of the owners of the hotel. She is fabulous to get to know and shared with us about the Colombian culture. A couple highlights from Inez--Colombians are happy people, always happy even though their history and lives are difficult. There is also a love for dancing!
The cookout was a terrific community builder. We talked on into the afternoon. BTW, Silas sleeps from 1:00-3:00. Since we have a baby monitor, we can feel free to leave him in the our room upstairs.
Afternoon coffee! Don't worry, Lucia's is about half milk.
Lucia's friends.
Making necklaces with Manuela and Michel.
Happy 5 month birthday!!!! Lucia made this hat for Silas. It is a dinosaur with army men. It was so cute b/c Silas had no qualms about wearing it and kept in on all afternoon and at dinner.
Silas is getting so big!
One funny story for my girlfriends--Today Brian ran a personal errand for me to the grocery store... understand? As he was standing in the aisle trying to figure out what exactly to purchase, not only from my instructions but also trying to understand the Spanish labels, 2 women came up to him and began explaining all the products to him in Spanish. They were asking him questions and so forth. When they realized he didn't understand, they went and got a man who could speak English. So they would explain the products to this man who would then translate it to Brian. Can you imagine!!! But good for the women...he came home with exactly what I needed!
