Adios Colombia

Very quite in the hood last night. Slept great. Today is Women's Day in Colombia - a national holiday. They celebrate all women - not just mothers. Why don't we do that??  So it is quite this morning as well. We also don't expect too much traffic going to the airport. Angela  (I asked her why she doesn't get the day off - she laughed) is picking us up at 11:30 and we take off at 1:50 pm for Atlanta. Lose an hour because Colombia does not have DST. Go through customs in Atlanta which should take up a good chunk of our 3 hour layover. Back in Boston at 1 am and in bed by the latest 3 am if we are lucky!  

The cable finally got fixed and the roof is fixed. The  fence still needs mending but that's nothing to worry about. Thanks again to Diane and everyone who helped keep our home safe.

Going to breakfast then we start packing. Somehow the stuff is always bigger on the way home.  Have to put the jeans back on and the down jackets in the backpack. UGH!! I hope spring comes soon.

It is sad to finally say good-bye to this country. We've had so many experiences and adventures and have met so many wonderful people. On the other hand, five weeks has certainly been enough time to be away from home. It may be cold, but it will feel good to be snuggled in our house by the sea.

Next time....Back in the USA
