Greetings from Colombia!!!

We just arrived in the beautiful city of Bogota, Colombia at about 2pm today. The city has gorgeous mountains and we've learned a lot since we've arrived. Our driver, Mario told us much about this booming city. It seems that gas is around the same price as ours. We have McDonalds here (YAY!), Pizza Hut, Dunkin Donuts and even a Hard Rock Cafe in the city. Isn't that amazing? We are transmitting right now from Hotel Paris. The hotel is very cozy and our room is comfortable. We have our own distilled water in our room and my stomach is grumbling right now as the ladies are preparing the guests' dinner in the kitchen. (I'm praying I won't gain 10 lbs!) So far we've met Edith Nieman, our CAI coordinator here in Hotel paris. She said that at 8:30am on Monday morning we'll leave for CRAN to pick up the baby. Right now there is another lovely couple here from France who adopted a baby girl (around 14 months) named Clara. She is precious. I'm sure we'll discover more families here once they arrive from their outings today. Well, not much else to tell... OH, Mario told us that we don't need to worry about safety. There is not much crime in Bogota (probably more in Miami!) but DON'T WORRY... We promise to be careful and the Lord will definately protect us. Hey, he brought us this far huh? xoxo Sandy
