We made it! It has been a great day. We have met quite a few very kind people. On the plane to Bogota we had huge comfortable seats. Pete worked, and I tried to figure out how to use the mac I got back in March! About 1/2 way through our 3.5 hour flight, the guy behind me stood up to take a break and commented on that he saw I was using a mac. Yes, I said, but not really, because I didn't know how to use it... to which he replied he worked at the Apple Store in Florida and he could help me! That was fun because I really, really wanted to learn how to organize my pictures and he helped me! As we landed he commented that he hoped my spanish was better than my computer skills.... sheesh!
We landed in Bogota without any problems and Costanza's brother, Diego, and an interpreter met us at the airport. It was very fun. He took us to the mall where we met up with another family who got in a few days ago. They hosted their children, 2 boys, 13yrs. and 2 yrs old, back when we hosted Heidy and Andres. We had lunch with them. They told us about the area they were staying in. ( At a friends house) We got a phone and added minutes, but can only use it in Colombia. Then we went back to the airport and flew to Neiva.
Here in Neiva Constanza's other brother, Humberto, who is our attorney, met us with his wife and 2 interpreters! They brought us to our hotel and spent about an hour with us answering questions and telling us what the process is. Pete commmented that we had the right guy as our attorney. Humberto is kind, but very confident in the adoption process. He told us not to worry about a thing... that he was in charge!
Tomorrow we get to see Heidy and Andres at 11:00am! At Diego's suggestion we asked the hotel for a party... we didn't understand what they said they would do... but I think they said cake and balloons!
More tomorrow!
Buenos Noches!
