We are now all healthy. But even when Katrina had the flu, she played a mean game of whist from her sickbed, literally.
Bogota is a huge but surprisingly manageable city (see below). Tomorrow we leave for Lima and then deep into the Amazon: a flight, a jeep ride, and then a boat ride to an area that has been closed to tourists for 30 years. Probably not great Internet.
To celebrate our final night in Colombia, we went to the main plaza for an evening concert to celebrate international peace day. The plaza is absolutely beautiful, but we made two key miscalculations: 1) The concert was one part music (wonderful) to six parts political speeches. In Spanish, obviously. And 2) Bogota is at 8,000 feet, so with each speech the temperature plunged another five degrees. By about the 9th speech, we were clinging to each other for warmth.

well it is grand that the family shares politics...enough to cling together at least.
