¡Viva Bogotá!

We're in Bogotá!

Our to-dos in Monteria this morning went better than perfect. Our interpreter begged her way into the building that the passport office is in at 8:00am (20 minutes before they opened). She and Stacy went up and got the passport, had to make some copies of it, return the copies to the office (why we don't know) and then were back down at the taxi at 8:30am!

We made it to the airport in plenty of time. In fact, our plane left 45 minutes late so we were actually quite early.

Elkin LOVED the plane ride. He just laughed at every bump during take-off and was enthralled enough about the inside of the plane to keep pretty busy on the 45 minute flight. We're glad he loved the plane ride because he didn't care too much for the airport wait. He threw quite a tantrum on the floor in fact.

The weather in Bogotá all year round is just amazing - 50s and 60s pretty much all day, every day. Exactly what we needed after the insane heat and humidity of Monteria.

We have a doctors visit for Elkin at 4:00pm today - a required trip before he can get his US visa. After that we have to get some pictures taken of him for his visa. Hopefully he's not too upset after the visit with the doc to get a decent picture taken. We'll see.

Tomorrow is the US Embassy visit to apply for Elkin's visa which supposedly a very long process. Friday, assuming what we're told is correct, we'll be able to pick it up. You can not pick up the visa the same day no matter how early you're done with the application.

So that means we could leave on Saturday. There's no way to get from Bogotá to home in one day on our airline if you leave on a Saturday. Fine with us. We'll stay over in Miami and head home on Sunday. Hopefully. :)
