To Market, To Market..










Hello everyone,

We're spending an afternoon in our room relaxing and napping after a little excersion to one of the markets this morning. The one we went to was about a 20 minute walk away & it is held in the large courtyard of another hotel. It wasn't as big as we thought it was going to be, but of course we found a few cute things we couldn't pass up. We bought a photo album and a hand carved wooden parchisi board. When we saw the parchisi board, we both agreed we couldn't pass it up. In the afternoons when Athena is napping, John and I have passed quite a bit of the time playing parchisi on the board they have here at the hotel. The one we bought is super cute and they personalized it with "Zuge" for us. There is another, bigger market that is a little further away that we may venture out to next Sunday for something to do if the weather is nice.



Athena has a taken a special liking to one of her toys already. Her favorite so far seems to be an animal that goes along with her floor gym. We think it is a type of octopus. It looks like a zucchini with 5 legs coming off of it like an octopus & it has huge eyes. Since it only has 5 legs, but looks like an octopus we have named is cinco-puss.




That's all for now around here:)


Love from Bogota!

Nic, John & Athena
