Bogota, Colombia!

We made it! As usual, getting into town is always very hectic with family so we have not had a chance to post any pictures but I thought I would take a few minutes to give a quick update! We got in three hours late on Tuesday because of bad weather in Miami (awesome). We got to Tio Javier´s place and were shown our accomodations. It is located in a beautiful part of town with several malls and amazing place to eat. There are alot of things here that are actually much more advanced then in the United States...not what I expected. There are alot of other different things as well and I love learning about all of it. We went to a cocktail bar with Carlos´ cousin and his girlfriend then walked around some malls. We stopped by a burger joint called ¨El Corral¨ which was really good! As for the adventure of the night...Carlos and I got yellow fever shots so we could go visit the coast (Tehyrona) and by the way, this was a last minute change to our plans but that is what you do on these types of vacations :) I will post pictures soon...I was pretty scared just being in a different country and hating shots didn't make it better! We also saw Transformers...it was in English but subtitled in Spanish. Speaking of Spanish...I am understanding SSOOO much more...but it's like being a child...you hear it and understand it way before you are able to speak it. I am trying but it is muy dificil...:) We ate lunch today at Tia CoCo's house ...it was delicious! Here people eat large lunches and very small dinners...like tonight we are eating fondue with bread and fruit. They have maids here that cook and clean for you which is very nice and they are treated like part of the family. I also had my dentist appt (Tia CoCo is a dentist) and they are doing such agreat thing for me by fixing all my dental issues :) Well that is all for now. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning we will post pictures! Hasta luego!
