Friday!

Wow! What a day! After our classes at CRAN they had a ceremony to thank us. It was very difficult saying goodbye to the children and to the adults. It was a great week!

After CRAN we took taxis to Plaza de Bolivar. We walked around the square to the president’s house. We were supposed to have a tour but it was cancelled because the president of South Korea was visiting. Never being one to accept “No” for an answer, we asked at every guard station if our friend in the president’s security team, Jairo Cortes, was there. He’s the one who originally set up the tour. No one knew where he was, but we ran into him on the street. He took us on a tour of the Police Museum. It was really cool! We met his children on the way back from the museum.

We went shopping a little and then took the trans-milenio. It’s their mass transit. It was standing room only and VERY crowded. Not everyone did so well, but we all survived.

We have an early day tomorrow and a long flight. Keep us in your prayers.
