Weekend Wrap-Up, Week 16

We had an early celebration of our 1 year anniversary in Bogota with a visit to our favorite place here...the Hilton Bogota!  We left after Spanish class Friday afternoon & spent one night there.  It was quite rainy, so we postponed our swimming until Saturday morning.  We ate at the hotel Friday night & spent some time reflecting on the past year.

Thankfully, we had sun for a little bit Saturday morning (and the pool is heated).

We had a late check out, so we enjoyed our long morning at the hotel & then headed to the theater for our first play in Bogota!  I think the last play we saw was in London, a year and a half ago, so it was fun to be watching a play again.  We went to see The Sound of Music, or in Spanish, La Novicia Rebelde, which literally translates to the rebel novice.

The entire play was in Spanish, even the songs!

We were able to follow along pretty well since we know the play & movie so well.  Outside of the time Marie Osmond played Maria, this was the best performance of this play I've seen.  

It was a fun language experience for us!
