Jennifer comes to visit and all things art!

Our close amiga, Jennifer, came to visit this past week.  She is full of energy and happiness and we loved spending time with her here. Being the artistic soul that she is we thought it was no better time to head downtown to visit art museums and Medellin architecture.  





    Exploring Botero's art in style



 

 


    Sitting in an old beautiful catholic church



  We headed to Guatape again...to feel the breeze on our faces

 
    And this time we zip liiiiined!  
   (here's Ava)

Not going to lie- I was scared!  As you can see below Jennifer is a pro and helped me laugh all the way through it.
 
Plenty of sight seeing and make believe games near El Penol          


I pretty much hope that in 25 years I have the spirit of a 20 year old just like Jennifer


     Out to eat with just 1 of the 4 bambinos on her last night in     
    town.  
    Te amamos!

Celebrating Dan's 37th in Sante Fe Antioquia!

Sante Fe is an old colonial town, former government seat of Antioquia, about 80 km north of Medellin.  It was a Colombian holiday on Monday and it also happened to be Dan's birthday so with no school and no work we headed out for another adventure.





An impressive piece of architecture- this suspension bridge (Puente de Occidente) is one of the oldest in South America.  It was built in the late 19th century.
