We got an update from our facilitator about our Sentencia. She said that the paperwork was put into action last week (we think it took the Defender of Minors longer than usual). It will go to the judge tomorrow or Thursday. He has 10 business days to respond with the date for our Sentencia. He could respond on the first day or the tenth (let's hope it is the first!). Once we go to our Sentencia, it will take approximately one more week to process things like Silas's new birth certificate, passport, and visa. Other little nuances that could slow us down include our court being closed for 2 days next week to work on electrical problems and the U.S. embassy not processing Visas on Fridays. So, where does that put us? We aren't sure, but it will not likely be on September 19 (which is our date with Delta).
Today, we went out for a special lunch. On the way, we ran into Inez's brother. Inez is one of the owners of the hotel. Her brother is one of those people that you run into all the time in odd places. He insisted on taking us to a stand that sells Obleas, a traditional Colombian sweet. This is the lady making our Oblea. It is a flat pastry circle with caramel inside.
Yes, they are terrific! Too bad it took us 4 weeks to get one. It may become a regular treat, competing with Juan Valdez.
This is Pablo, who works at the hotel. Inez's brother offered for him to pay for our treat :)
The Colombian flag, on the way to Crepes and Waffles for lunch.
Crepes and Waffles is a very famous restaurant in Colombia. They are found in many places. We went a few times when we were here adopting Lucia. They have a wide variety of foods served on crepes. Delicious.
The best part about Crepes and Waffles is the ice cream. It is presented very beautifully, or fun in the case of Lucia's ice cream.
Took a picture of this so we don't forget. This is on the corner of our street. The boom box is booming these Learning English cd's. So on the streets you hear the alphabet and common English phrases. It is really kinda funny.
It is fun having little girls at the hotel. We bought paint and the girls painting this evening before dinner. It was a really nice way to get the girls to know one another. We are thankful their parents speak English!
