What a Weekend!

Well, this past weekend was probably one of the busiest I've had in Bogota yet...and it was so much fun! Matt was away on another road trip, so I spent the weekend with his family again. It started off with a great surprise: Matt's cousin, Paola, and her husband and daughter came to visit from Florida! I always love hanging out with them and really enjoyed getting to spend more time with them. Friday night, we went out with several other cousins to a Mexican Mariachi bar. This was by far the best mariachi I've seen yet. Check out the video.


After a long night and sleeping in Felipe's living room floor (something I haven't done in ages and am way too old for), I had to get ready for another fiesta. Most of the family met up at Sonia's house for Felipe's birthday party. It was loud, full of food, and amazing fun!

Sunday was a good lazy day after church at Ligia's house, and then back to the hotel I went to await Matt's return. You would think 8 days would be nothing for us since he's gone for entire US baseball seasons, but it's funny how quickly I get used to seeing him everyday. When he arrived Monday we made a long awaited trip to Monserrate! We've been waiting for a day clear enough to go there for the entire month we've been here. The view was amazing, and it was definitely worth the wait.

Not even half of our home away from home



We had a VERY steep ride up the cable car.
