Hola from Kristin. I must admit that I was worried about the food in Colombia. I am a bit of a picky eater and we were out of room for snacks. Well, no worries! For breakfast we had eggs and toast, prepared any way we like. For lunch we had a 3 course meal- a pumpkin-ish soup, hamburgers and french fries, and a big juicy slice of pineapple for dessert. We just finished dinner. We had a salad with raw corn, onions, lettuce and a white dressing followed by brown rice and delightful BBQ chicken. We ended with chocolate sundaes. Instead of worrying about being hungry I'm going to have to make sure that I can still fit in my bridesmaid dress for Mark and Kati's wedding on October 27!! Phew!
Today we did venture out. We found a nice grocery store with an ATM and everything that a US store would have. We bought diapers, wipes, formula, Diet Coke, and a few snacks...the essentials! Carulla is the name of the store and it is 3 blocks from our hotel. We also found a store called Pepe that sells baby clothes, strollers, bottles, etc... so we are set, whatever Josh needs.
We are going to try and relax and get some sleep. A prayer request- I am coming down with a nasty cold. Pray that I could heal despite the stress and changes and that Josh would stay healthy.
Our translator/representative Isabel is meeting us in the lobby at 11:30. We have our presentation scheduled for noon. She said to plan on a few hours of time at Ayudame. When I asked what we need to bring, Isabel said our passports and our arms, ready to hold him. Josh, here we come!!!
