Day 2: Hotel Carretero

Well, we made it to our final destination for this week--the very nice Hotel Carretero. We have an executive suite with four beds, and yet we have enough room for a dining area, a living room area, closets and a mini-fridge. Sooo spacious! :D
It was so cold in Bogota this morning! I had on a sweatshirt and jeans, and I was still freezing! Oh, well! It's warmer here in Manizales, thank goodness!

Our flight out of Dulles was amazing! We had little television touch screens built into the back of the seat in front of us, and we could watch certain episodes of certain shows, movies, and play games! It was sooo cool!

Needless to say, the 45-minute flight to Manizales wasn't quite as entertaining. It was a little puddle-jumper, no 1st class, two seats to a row, with propellers! Now that was cool.

After we got off the plane, a shuttle for the hotel picked us up, then we basically came here and crashed. Did I mention that our flight landed at 9 (10 your time), we didn't get to the Sheraton last night until 10:30 (guess what time in MD?) and had to wake up at FIVE to catch the 5:30 shuttle to the airport, for a flight that didn't board for at least another hour, if not more. So, we were tired. And hungry. But we had breakfast here (watermelons, bread, mangoes, drinkable strawbery-ish yogurt, arepas, cereal and really interesting juice). I must have been really tired, because my stomach did not take to the new food at all well. After some just chilling out, Mitch and Dad went to a supermarket kind of just down the road, and before they left, I asked them if they could look for something familiar--comfort food. You know what they found? OREOS!!!!! In cute little packages of four, but a bunch in a bag. I should save some, to show you all.

So bascially, we've been in Manizales since 8-ish this morning and all we've done is eat and sleep (well, Mom and Dad slept. I couldn't--my book's too good).

I got some pictures of Wally (well, actually Mom got them for me) and I will post them soon!!
