We moved to an apartment

On Friday (that was yesterday, wasn't it?), we moved to the apartment where we will stay for the remainder of our time in Bogota. It's a bit further north in the city, and the improvement in air quality from the area around the hotel was noticeable! It's 2 bedrooms, with an office that also has a decent sofabed, 2 bathrooms, free internet and wireless, and free phone calls. It also has a maid who comes 6 days a week to cook, clean, grocery shop and do the laundry - and she's included in the price. Milena, the maid, also loves children and is great with both Esteban and Isabella. The apartment is in a nice neighborhood, and has a park right out front. There is a line of shops on the other side of the park, where we can find just about anything we need - even a $5 box of wine that is reasonably drinkable. We will miss the comforts, staff, and comraderie of the Halifax, and plan to return to visit regularly.

  1. How are things going? I hope you'll be happy in the apartment! So glad Milena is your maid. We loved her! Looks like you guys are staying busy and having lots of fun. Have you been assigned a court yet?

  2. Please say hello to Milena. Ask her to make soancocho or arroz con pollo, both my favorites! Glad you all are well!
