After the marathon that was yesterday (was it yesterday? I’ve lost all track of time) today seems totally civilized, oxygen or no.
By noon or so on Friday, we were all at the Spanish school where the students’ families were waiting to take them home for lunch and a well-earned nap. The host parents all seemed friendly and warm and eager to host our kids. I told the families that we wanted the kids home by 8:30pm last night so that they’d get to bed early and sleep. Alejandra and I started calling at 8pm and most of them were already in bed!
So far, everyone is doing pretty well — a few headaches, some nausea, a cold… all of the normal symptoms of 11,000 feet.
At 2pm today we’ll all be convening in the central plaza to check in, walk around, maybe watch a little world cup soccer. Viva COLOMBIA!!! 🙂
