Hello my friends!! I arrived in Bogota safely, but pretty exhausted after a 9 hour trip (delays). I was met at the airport by my sponsor, Lisa, the executive officer, Matt, and my driver, Lucho. My luggage didn't fare so well (it ripped) and I lost a few things. No worries! After the luggage fiasco, off we went in my new cheaufffer driven SUV(beats the Saturn) to my new apartment. Apartment is AWESOME, despite a minor problem with the electric when I got there (no lights). Still, great though! Miss ya all!
