Personal Best: 7 Poopy Diapers

Yes, folks, it's true. I changed SEVEN poopy diapers today - starting at 6:30am this morning and finishing about 6:30pm tonight. Sounds crazy, but it's true. Not a personal best I'd like to challenge anytime soon!

Why so many?, you might ask. I think both kids have a touch of a stomach bug that's running things through them. Hopefully, this was a one-day deal, and all will be back to a usual 3-4 (total, not each) tomorrow.

What else was memorable about today? Not much! We're in the unexciting stretch here. Waiting for sentencia, tired of the "adventure," wishing we could go home now. Esteban told me this morning that he wanted to go home to Massachusetts. All I could say was, "Me too!" We managed to fill the day with a trip to the bakery for morning treats, a short visit to the park to play and run, and then a walking outing to a shopping mall/grocery store that included a lunch stop and a grocery store stop before walking home with a stop at the park.

We did have a good time at the park. We teeter-tottered with Isabella and I on one side and Esteban and Grandma on the other - we ALL had a great time! And Esteban is getting to be quite a climber.

We keep waiting for a really sunny, clear day to take Esteban up to Monserrate (a shrine atop a mountain that overlooks Bogota) because we think he'd like the train and tram rides up and down, respectively.

Okay, one sort of memorable thing today: this particular sidewalk (see below) was worse than most in Bogota (and that's saying something!). From what I can tell, sidewalks are the responsibility of the property-0wner, so they vary widely in height, quality, material and width from one property to the next. Curb-cuts--those slopes at corners for wheelchairs (and handy for strollers) are also optional and mostly non-existent here. Strollering with a single was challenging, with a double it's a full-body workout!
