We're Here!

We are in Ibague! When we got into Bogota yesterday we found out that our flight to Ibague was that afternoon. We hung out at the airport for about 4 hours and then took a 25 minute flight to Ibague. The flight from Miami to Bogota was good, but I didn't care for the flight to Ibague - it was a small plane (about 38 passenger) with propellers. The flight was just enough time to get up, have a drink of water, and come back down. It was dark by the time we got here so we didn't get to see much. Patricia from the B&B was there to pick us up. We came to the B&B, had dinner and spent a little time talking with the other family here (from Norway). They are here with their older son adopted from Bogota in 2003 to adopt a 3 year old boy. They are leaving in a couple of days, so we will have the house to ourselves. There was a party on the street corner, but that didn't keep us up for very long. We have a bedroom and bath for ourselves and another bedroom for the boys. I spent some time last night and today trying to get things unpacked and put away.

We took a walk around the neighborhood this morning and are going to take a taxi with the other family downtown today and look around. It is warm here - the windows stay open and the dining area is open to the outside along with the garage, which opens to the kitchen.

We have one more day of relaxing before we meet the boys. I guess we're as ready as we can be since this is something we haven't done before and don't know quite what to expect. We'll let you know tomorrow how it goes.
