Planes, Trains and Automobiles


Us getting dropped off at the airport in Duluth

After a very long day of travel, we arrived safe and sound in Medellin.  We are at our hotel and Jason is unpacking as I write this.

It was a pretty uneventful travel day, which is the BEST kind of travel day!  All of our luggage made it here in one piece, our representative/translator, Margarita, was at the airport ready to meet us, and everything really did go pretty smoothly.  Margarita is a stitch!  She is a petite lady with kind of a raspy voice, and she calls everyone by pet names, like "mi amor", etc.  She seems to be very well connected, and when we walked through the airport and hotel with her, many people greeted her like an old friend.   

We are now in that state of over-tiredness, where we can't quite settle down to sleep yet, but are starting to become incoherent.  We woke up at about 2am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep - too nervous and excited to settle back in.  Needless to say, we are very tired tonight. 

Margarita is meeting us tomorrow to show us around the neighborhood a little bit and help us get acclimated.  For now, I think it's off to bed for us!!  Goodnight everybody!
