James 1:27

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their distress. James 1:27

We're Here!

We made it to our hotel in Bogota late last night, and we were spoiled from the moment we walked in.  We are staying at a hotel that is like a big house for adoptive families.  When we first got here, the hotel staff thought we might be hungry so they made us grill cheese sandwhiches and homemade hot chocolate.  We spent today unpacking and getting settled in.  It was cold and rainy outside.  We get to meet with our agency's representative tomorrow, and we will have a chance to meet with our kids' social worker on Monday.  Tuesday, which is Presentation Day, is right around the corner!  Here are a few pictures:

We are waiting at the airport.

Bogota, here we come.

Dainis enjoyed his first cup of Colombian coffee.  It doesn't get any fresher than this!

Our first authentic Colombian dinner..spaghetti and meatballs!

  1. Lori, so glad you are getting this weekend to get settled in before you meet the kids. It is nice to get a chance to walk around without the kids so you can figure out where the local park is. If you get a chance to go to the Hotel La Fontana tommorrow for the kermese GO! It has a lot of beautiful little crafts you might want to buy for the kids. Enjoy ciclovia tomorrow! It is great to not have to worry about being run over by a car as you walk around! :). Can't wait for you post after you meet the kids!
