Doctors Visit a Complete Success!

We left for the doctors visit at about 4:20... 20 minutes late (taxi was late). We're not sure when the appointment actually was but my guess is it was soon after 4:00 because we made high tailed it there like I've never seen. The taxi driver was weaving in and out of traffic like a maniac! I actually leaned over to Stacy and told her that this was just like a video game only I'd NEVER drive this fast in a video game.

I'm not exaggerating... it was INSANE! I wish we had had the camera to video this one. Remember - no seat belts here.

Then we hopped out of the taxi, literally ran into the clinic, up the elevator, down the stairs (wrong floor), and right into the doctors office. Who knows when our appointment was but we got in!

The visit was a little traumatic, only partly because Elkin slept all the way into the office. I had to wake him up, strip him down, and the doctor did a bit of everything to him to make sure he was OK. I'd say we were in there about 20 minutes or so. He prepared the medical documents that the embassy will need and sent us on our way. He did speak English.

So next up is the US Embassy tomorrow morning at 9:00am. It's the very last official thing to do so we can all come home. Well, we have to pick it up the next day but other than that.

Man we love Bogota. It's beautiful, lots of different kinds of people (read: no one stares at us), and the weather is amazing.

Poor Elkin thinks this is his new life... pictures all the time, different hotel rooms, uncomfortable people situations, very uncomfortable doctor visits, irregular meals... :( Poor kid! We CAN NOT wait to get him HOME!
