Enjoying our Daughter's Home Town... Bogota

We had another great day and we decided to go in the old central part of Bogota for a good walk around but before took a driving tour with Monica's cousins through an area that is a National Park that sits above the city and has a beautiful view. There is one view better than this and we hope to go up there very soon. I'll tell you all about that, when we go but for day, we had a great view and it gave a new perspective of just how vast this city is. I knew Bogota was a big city (7 million plus people), but when you realize that from a high spot, that the city takes up all that you can see until you see the distant mountains in the background. It's very impressive, really.

Then we drove down into the central old part of Bogota, had a little coffee along with a Colombian sweet treat (obleas), and strolled through this part of the city. We walked through some beautiful old building, the location where Bogota was founded, as well as the plaza where the Colombian supreame court, congress, and the national cathedral all face into. It was a beautiful evening and we took some nice photos for sure. Gabriela is continuing to do very well and is "talking" all the time now, of course she isn't saying any actual words yet, but doesn't seem to stop her. She continues to just love being outside and must see every thing she possibly can.

We plan on going somewhere very cool tomorrow also, but I'll wait to tell you about it until a) after we go just in case we don't make it there tomorrow, b) I actually know more about what it is. I have also begun taking some photos of our apartment here since we have received a few requests for photos of it so you can see how well we are living right now. Depending on what we do tomorrow, I'll either post some of those tomorrow or Monday.

I also have to tell you something about the last picture. Monica have a little tradition where we always take at least one picture of ourselves, you know where the person with the longer arms holds the camera and pointed back at the two of you and you hope that your faces actually show in the picture... that's what the last one is all about and hey, we actually made it in the shot.

Until then, thank you to all of you for your continued support for all of us. It is such a wonderful feeling for us have this connection to all of you back home during this time and we are always checking for comments the way some of you are checking our blog for updates, so this is certainly something we are getting so much back while we give what we can. We hope that all of you are are well and look forward to next time.
