Not much going on today. Hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday we'll have a better idea of when we'll be going to Bogota. We're hoping this week. Our paperwork ended up being filed later than we had hoped it would be because the person whose job it is to collect whatever paperwork we needed filed was out sick for three days.

Today we went out to Carrefour to pick up a clay caricature of Marisol we had ordered yesterday. There were a lot of booths set up It mostly looks like her, with the big cheeks and green eyes. When the artist tried to take her picture so he could make it, she got all serious and wouldn't smile, so he did the best he could with the lips. People here seem to really be into clay. The toy sections at the stores are full of play doh and regular modelling clay. I think the only things they have a better selection of in the stores here are foot sprays and powders.

On our way to Carrefour, we came across three iguanas hanging out on the edge of a park. Two of them took off down an embankment before we could take pictures, but one stuck around for a few minutes. They were huge! My older brother had a really small pet iguana when we were kids (he picked one with a gimpy leg because he felt sorry for it, kept it for a year or so and then determined it had cancer or something and let it go on the golf course so it could die free. . .). These ones were about three or four feet long.

So that's it for tonight. We'll hopefully have some new pictures on Flickr.

I am really enjoying your blog and adorable Marisol! Your trip has been very exciting! I wish you all well and home soon! I really hope you plan to attend the St. Louis Colombia gathering in July so I can see Marisol in person! We've been home 5 months and I just couldn't be happier! I can tell you two are beaming internally too!
