Weekend Wrap Up

Our weekend began with post-school activities. Isabella came home Friday by herself on the bus and Avery took her to high school youth group.  While they had 45 minutes in a taxi going 7 miles south, I spent 45 miles in a taxi going 7 miles north.  You just can't win with Bogota traffic :(.

I went north back to the girls school because Brook had an after school "Middle School Chill Out".

This picture was posted on the school's facebook page:

The girls to the left is Colombian, but is new to the school.  The girl in the front is the other North American classmate, and there is Brook. The man in the background is their math and computer teacher, and he is very nice and has been very helpful (especially the two times I had to email him last week :)).

The school also had a mechanical bull for the event. I arrived just in time to watch Brook:

I took Isabella at 7:30am Saturday morning to meet up with classmates and chaperones for a school service project.  She went to a ministry for teenage moms where she was able to help care for their kids and other students did other things while there.  This is a ministry where her class will go once a month.  I wasn't feeling so great on Saturday. Sunday, same story and Brook also had congestion and sore throat.  I took cold medicine for the first time since I've arrived in Bogota.  I had run out Sunday afternoon for two things and even wore my ski hat I got in Peru.

Pitiful.  Pray I can breathe better today. A cold at high altitude is no fun!

The girls are back in school today and I'm back to Spanish class.

Happy last day of August!!
