Amazing Race

Hola,
Today was alright but a little bit more boring than the others. We saw a bunch of lectures about Colombia and the history and problems here. I definitely learned a lot about the country and it will help me to have a better understanding of the things that go on here.

Then we went to a hospital. It was a good experience to hear them talk about the health care but we didnt get to see much at teh hospital. I would have liked to walk around it more but I suppose with privacy issues it is hard.

The most fun part was when myself, Ross, Dave and Fred walked to the mall. It was a couple of miles but nice to exercise after so many hours of lectures. Ross was in search of a soccer jersey for a certain team. Him and I ran all over the mall trying to find one. It was great because we were getting to use our spanish with no translator. We were talking to a lot of people and getting a lot of directions. We were going all over the mall. I felt like I was on Amazing Race. It was super fun and I enjoyed it a lot. In the end we never found one but I am sure we will.

Well thats all for now. I love you all!
Erika

  2. Erika, hello again. Check with Hunter on the soccer jersey as I found one for him when in Colombia. Cant' remember from what team though.
    Lectures are boring -- but its also good to have some background on what's happening. Glas you had fun at the mall. Enjoy! grammy
