Well, we had an adventerous and busy first day in Colombia. We are leaving with the Pinzon family, who have been very generous to us (though communicating is tough). They live in a beautiful home in Bogota. Hopefully in a week or so we will be moving into our apartment which is a lot closer to the school.
Jackie will be happy once we have our own place and we can work on our schedule, since they do things very different down here with eating and sleeping. But, we will be fine for the time we are with the Pinzon's.
This morning on our way to school the car tire looked like it exploded. Me and Mr. Pinzon ended up changing a tire on the side of the autopista (highway) which was a very unexpected and dangerous experience for the first day. But, we ended up getting to school safe, and even though we were late at least we were there.
There was a full schedule for us today, including: a tour of the school (the old and new building), lunch (chicken and rice), going into downtown Bogota to get our Colombia ID cards, etc. Everything went fine with the ID cards which means we are now legal in Colombia.
We will have more information in the next few days once we find out more about our schedules, living arrangements, etc.
Keep praying for us as we continue to get used to being away from home and starting our year in Colombia.
