Moving On

We lost internet over the weekend! This made for a particularly bad time.

First of all i will start with Thursday and Parque Jaime Duque which is a combo of a zoo and a theme park that was created by the first pilot in Colombia. His name may or may not have been Jaime Duque- I never really got the full grasp of it. However, we had a great time and really it is a nice park with lots of animals arranged very nicely. We got great pictures and video of the lions. Mehli will love it!! The theme park part was also nice and had a worldly theme. There was an area tht depicted the Seven Wonders of the World and a replica of the Taj Mahal that had international replica's of the lieks of Michelangelo and Colombian art work portraying the history. Beautiful place. there were also a few rides for the kiddos.

Friday we went to visit Angie's school and friends as their three week vacation is begining. She had a nice time. Since we live next to a really nice school I was not prepared for he school. I didn't go inside and we forgot the camera but, it was sad to me. this is definately where the girls on the "other side of town" go to school. It had the glass shards on top of the wall that surrounded it. It was on this dirt road that made me nervous and I ws suprised by the whole thng. We then caught a taxi and went howm which is when we started having problems with the internet. Luckily I finished all of my work earlier in the week.

Vivanna visited Saturday morning with her son Daniel. He is an adorable baby with such a good temperment and Vivanna seems to be doing a good job with him. they all seemed to enjoy her visit even though the weather was bad and we had no internet. I was in a definate funk and was feeling that things were not right at home and I couldn't communicate with anyone. I then found out late Sunday that our Jeep broke down at Alanna's school when Jim went to take her back and is still down there. So now we have to take care of that issue with still thousands of dollars hanging out there in cost for our return. Needless to say this is stressful to both of us right now so send poistive thoughts our way. To make things more complicated I have AAA in my name but, I am in Colombia and cannot get to Athens, Ohio to get the free tow. Just keep swimming, just keep simming.... If I were home I could also get some extra hours in but, I am not. So after we took Vivanna back to where she was staying, we came back to find our internet was back on which was good but, it woudl have been nice for the kids to Skype with Paula since no one knows if they will all be together again.

Monday was another do nothing day and we just hung out but, today we will visit San Mauricio for the last time. I'm looking forward to it even though it is often sad. Have great day everyone and think good (ans speedy) thoughts for us!!
