First days...

Well here we are again..... after a not too bumpy flight from Toronto, on one of Air Canadas finest!!!, we landed in Bogota. Crazy arrival, lots of people, a band playing, and lots and lots of luggage. We linked up with Flor and made it to the house, tired but happy to be back.
Spent our first day unpacking, eating, eating and shopping!!!

Charlotte has made friends with the other children here, language doesn't seem to be a problem, we can be bossy in any language!!

Hopefully we can set some trips up over the next few days, weather not great, but we need to keep busy- especially madam.

Thank you to all who have posted a comment, we love to read them and keeps us in touch with home. Going to try and get lots of rest before we pick up Sebastian- we just have to convince Charlotte it's good to sleep all night.
