Lunch at El Corral! Another rainy day in Bogota during their rainy season.




















Big Bro Bro helps give Dana her first bottle of the day.











How in the world did we get the two cutest kids in the world?!


















PJ time this morning.








Dana's first bath with us. We have never seen so many rolls and cellulite! Isn't it cute!!

Hello everyone,

Today was a laid back day. We woke up at 6:30 with Dana and gave her the first bottle of the day. She wakes up smiling and happy. You know how some kids it is hard to get them to smile when you take a picture? Well we don't have that issue. She is happy go lucky and loves to look at her big Bro Andy.

After breakfast we gave Dana her first bath. Wow does she have the rolls on her! Andy didn't have any of those so we are enjoying Dana's chub. Lots to of folds and creases to clean in. Dana took her first nap and when I went to get her after she woke up she had her first #2 diaper. WOW was that a big one!!! A couple of days worth. Lucky me it took 6 wet wipes to clean it all up!!!!

We decided to take a walk around 11:30 and go get some lunch at the El Corral (Colombia's equivalent to Burger King), and the hamburgers were excellent. The food at the hotel is good, but after a week of it we needed a change of pace.

On our way home there was an earthquake (5.4 on the Richter scale) on the other side of the mountains surrounding Bogota. We wish we could say that we experienced it, but as we were walking we didn't feel a thing. When we got back to the hotel, they told us that the house was shaking, and the pool balls on the pool table were moving back and forth. Everyone was evacuated into the courtyard. A couple of the Danish ladies went to Unicentro Mall and they were on the second floor and they said it was shaking and swinging quite a bit, and they were scared. No one was speaking English and they didn't know if it was a bomb or what. Luckily after they went outside someone told them it was an earthquake. So we must have been in a spot that wasn't affected, or we just didn't feel it! So just in case you hear something on the news tonight, we are all just fine here.

Cecilia came over about 3 today to check on us and make sure that we are doing fine. After I put Dana down for her nap, we talked for a while about the political unrest and crime/drugs that have plagued Colombia in the past. She said that the last 10 years or so it has been pretty good under the current administration. Bogota in her opinion, has always been an island outside of the crime and drugs that are prevalent in the rural areas. She did say that most of the drug lords own a lot of the apartment buildings, and have big homes here, but they do their work in the rural areas and live there mainly. She said this is the way that they launder their money by investing in Real Estate among other things. Very interesting.

Otherwise tomorrow we may finally venture over to Unicentro Mall, as we haven't been there yet. We keep taking longer walks every day as Dana really enjoys her time in the Baby Bjorn.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
