Adios Cali

With our judgement finalized it's time to travel to Bogota for our visas so that we can finally head home. We spent our last few days in Cali relaxing and visiting some of the sites we hadn´t already visited. A trip up into the hills to the "Christo Rey" gave us a wonderful view of the city. You probably see the resemblance to the same statue in Rio de Janeiro, and many cities in South America have one of these overlooking them.



We also spent some time in the centre of Cali, visiting some of the wonderful old churches and enjoying some of the architecture both old and new. No day out would be complete without some gift shopping and at least one stop for ice cream!





Sunday came, and it was time to pack up our existence and say goodbye to everyone at the Hotel Arboleda. Some tearful goodbyes follow and we realize we will miss the friends we have made here. We have to say a big thank you to Allessandro, Valentina, Fabiolo, Roccio, Sineada, Lewardo and everyone else who helped us during our stay, and made our visit so enjoyable. We leave behind us two families; Albert, Rosanna, Laura Maria and Juan Diego and James, Sarah, Erica and Miguel who all shared in our experience.


We wish them the very best of luck and a speedy resolution to their adoptions. We will miss you guys!

Onward to Bogota!
