Going Home

It's been a long last two days, and a very long last evening.

Yesterday we went to Zipaquira to the Salt Cathedral, a beautiful cathedral carved in a salt mine. Saw perhaps the world's only underground coffee stand. Photos will have to wait until we get back home.

Today was filled with last Cyclovia, last shopping, last GREAT lunch (BBQ-my choice), saying good-bye to the staff who have become our friends, and to Jody and Sara.

It would have been tough to do it all without having my brothers here. We've had such a wonderful time, and have missed our youngest brother Samuel--who graduated from medical school in Australia yesterday.

Esteban is sleeping. The bags are (mostly) packed. I have to write a few last thank you notes to the staff, and write our entry in the guest book.

Colombia has been hospitable. I really have fallen in love with Bogota. I hope that if you have a chance to visit, you come. It is beautiful, the people are wonderful, the food is amazing, the city is incredible. I will miss it here, and I hope we can bring Esteban to visit his city and country many times.

We travel tomorrow, all day. It will be a big day for Esteban as he becomes an American citizen, and he won't even know it. Hope he likes flying!

Please keep Jody and Sara in your thoughts as they are still waiting for Sentencia.

See you State-side!
