Bogota Campaign, Part 1

Hayden, Stephen and I flew out Friday afternoon, June 17, arriving in Bogota at 7:30 p.m.  The temperature difference between San Salvador and Bogota is like night and day, so we bundled up for the 50 degree weather as best we could.  The hotel shuttle was there to pick us up and we were checked in and ready to eat dinner before 9:00 p.m.  We had a lazy Saturday morning, exploring the area around the hotel and walking to the mall for lunch.

Guillermo, Rodolfo and the team of 9 from Costa Rica picked us up at the hotel about 3:30 Saturday afternoon to go to the Alsacia neighborhood, even though the team from Blue Springs, Missouri, wasn't flyiing in until 11:00 p.m.  The schedule for the week was for us to hold a kid's club in the Alsacia neighborhood Sunday through Tuesday afternoons, so we sepnt Saturday night passing out invitations to everyone we saw.  The Costa Rica team set up face painting; there were balloon animals, popcorn  and the trampoline was there, as well.  Alex's wife and Karem had a registration table to enroll kids for the 3-night event.
