Day 13 – Clean up

Thursday 19th April, 2012 2 Comments

Today’s activity was somewhat dictated by the lack of power at the hotel from last night’s storm. We had been told that the power was expected back on some time this morning. I was planning on getting some work done, so it was a bit frustrating without internet access. There was a lot of activity … [Read More »]

Day 12 – ICBF, Notario, Chiquitines and the great storm

Day 9 – Follow the Cow

Sunday 15th April, 2012 7 Comments

Ahh, the joys of parenthood. Nicol decided that she preferred her old routine of being woken up in the middle of the night for a bottle, so we were all roused from our slumber by her wailing. She woke around 4AM and we fed her a bottle, but she refused to go back to sleep. … [Read More »]
