Here are a few pictures in my apartment in Bogota.
This one at the top is obviously my little kitchen...

This is one side of the living room/dining room area.
















This is the other angle, the dining area, with the bicycle I mentioned in my last post. I haven't used it yet, but I feel it will serve me well.













Just for kicks, this is a picture of the "bottled" water I bought the other night. It is cheaper to purchase it in bags. This bag cost 1300 pesos, or about 85 cents.





Well, more photos later. Let me quickly explain a bit about the people I am connected with here so I can use names to refer to them. The founder and director of the organization I am here with is named Jesus Ortiz. His wife is Marcela, and they have three children: Edwardo, Sara, and Camila. I am staying now with them and Marcela's sister, Sandra at their summer house in Girardot, a smallish city about a 3 hour drive from Bogota. We will be here until Sunday afternoon. Marcela and Edwardo are recovering from a bad cold (the whole family has been sick recently) and Jesus and I have been talking about plans for the summer.

He is a man of great ideas and feels called to a great work with the youth here. I am excited about what I can learn while here, for certain. I can see that he will allow, and even expect, me to jump right in and help with the work they are doing. That will be a great experience for me, though stretching. I have been working for a few hours on plans for a one-week camp we will be having in July. It is the same one I came down here for last summer, though it will be very different this year. Well, I had better sign off here, there is no internet in their house here, so I am in the clubhouse of the condo complex. I think it is time to head back to the house, so I will say goodbye until..."The opportune time". Dum ...dum...dum...
