Recap on Thursday

Like I said in the previous post, we spent Thursday out being tourists at the gold museum and candelaria area in Bogota. In part of the museum there was a huge visual time line that outlined the history of the different parts of the world. As we were reading through some of it Angie's dad Roger found this:




Fun! Kenosha Wisconsin mentioned at the Museo Del Oro in Bogota.
I also had to take pictures of these items for all of my stamping friends:) Check it out-embossing and stamping has been around for a long long time ladies!

We ate at an awesome restaurant just a few blocks from the museum.





If anyone visits the gold museum on your trip to Bogota, we highly recomend this place for lunch or dinner. The best home made guacamole and sangria! Steak and chicken was awesome too. As usual I was so impressed by the hospitality and friendly-ness of the staff. I needed to take both of the kids to the bathroom to change Alton and have Ena take a potty break. The bathroom was on the second floor and the steps were a very narrow, winding spiral staircase. Athena was having a hard time with it and I was trying to help her by just holding her hand as I was carrying Alton. A waiter ran over to us (literally ran), picked Athena up and carried her the rest of the way up the steps. People here are so sweet and helpful when they see you have little kids. You do not wait in any lines when you have little kids along. People insist you go ahead of them. Always. It's not just employess in restarants and stores who are doing their jobs either. People on the street and other customers in stores and the airport do this too. It's heartwarming:)

My husband Brian and I are from Kenosha! So cool, thanks for the sharing! Maybe in the future once we get to travel to Colombia to pick up our children we will have to check out that museum in Bogota!

looking through the blog today I had to laugh. We had an adventure down to the racine/kenosha area (just yesterday March, 5) and visited the public museums there. Saw the mammoth exhibit and checked out the dinosaur museum. we too read that about kenosha's findings. also read how kenosha was totally not where kenosha is today. very interesting!
