Extra Blog Post - Friday night makeup



/>

Ok, so we didn't post to the blog last night and our Thursday night post didn't have any pictures; so we dicided to give a makeup post for Friday to show what we were up to.

We all got up early and after I worked for a few hours, we went to breakfast at a wonderful place right down the street. We returned to the apartment for a bit so I could work some more and the girls could play with Gabriela. We then went for a walk to Pablo's "Colegio" which is actualy the school that he went to from kindergarden through 12th grade he gave us a very nice tour. We then went to a 4 level shop with all of the hand made Colombian crafts you could possibly imagine. We got some great ideas for gifts but that doesn't mean we bought you anything!

After a little dinner back at the apartment, we went out for our first night out without Gabriela. Tia Rosario stayed at the apartment with our sleeping angel and we went to a pub with Maria Alejandra and her boyfriend Nicolas. Juan Carlos met up with us at the pub later and we had a really nice time. It was a lot of fun to hang out with Monica's cousins and enjoy a few beers which we have had little to none of since we arrived several weeks ago. Gabriela slept the whole time and was her typical bright and beautiful self in the morning.

As for these pictures, I included a few from our night out on Friday night as well as a one of Bogota to complement Monica's wonderful post below about our day today (Saturday). We can only include up to 5 pictures with each blog posting so I'm helping her out with a scenic view photo. The amazing thing is that this photo doesn't even come close to caturing this entire city. It might include a 1/3rd of Bogota. From our pearch high above the city, we could not always see where the city actually ended it is so large.
