Day 38 (Tuesday)

Looks like the end is in sight for Colombia.  J

 

Today:

Today the kids and I went to go get the birth certificates (I believe) and Bryans ID card.  I say I believe because my lawyer sent another assistant with us today but this assistant didn’t speak English at all.   She showed up at the hotel at 8 in the morning but the only problem is that nobody told us she was coming.   I have been talking to the other American family and it appears that their lawyer communicates a lot more with them.  As a matter of fact, the other family told me that their lawyer is going to get their birth certificates and id cards without them tomorrow.    I would have to agree that I didn’t have to go today because I didn’t even sign anything.   I just went for long taxi drives, sat on hard chairs, wasted 8 hours of my day, and got a bill in the end for 110,000 cop’s for the assistants time.  But all I can say is, at least that part is over.  I am hoping that maybe my lawyer will email me back for the first time and tell me what time the assistant is picking us up tomorrow and if we are getting the passports and the doctor certificate.   Hopefully tomorrow I can have a positive day.

After dinner the kids went to the pool again.  I believe this is going to be a nightly activity because it really wears them out.  Also, Bryan and Luisa really like going to the pool

 

Until tomorrow,
