My toes were frozen, my fingers were frozen, my nose was frozen and the rest was of me was hovering at a mere few degrees above freezing. Trying my best to stay warm under a five year old boy's extra jacket, I feel like strangling one of my three companions who are snoring away next to me. Yes, I distinctly remember telling them DON'T get the airconditioned bus! Nights here are cold. We don't need airconditioning. But no, the seats don't recline in non-airconditioned busses...
Well the seats reclined all right. Kind of like reclining in a walk in freezer.
I look at my watch, 2 a.m. Great, only six more hours...
Christmas in Columbia. My three month entry visa into Venezuela expires Christmas day. So I get an all-expences-paid trip to Elizabeth's home in Bucaramunga. Can't beat that. Even if the bus was sub-zero temperatures, beggars can't be choosers right?
Elizabeth really has quite the family. Earlier this week we took a trip into the mountains with two of her sisters and a brother-in-law to do a level four, white water rafting trip, and guess who got to be in the very front of the raft...
This Christmas I traded carols and hot chocolate for drenching, icy-cold white water rafting. Life holds a lot of suprises.
So think of me as you sit around the tree singing carols and gazing at the brown paper packages all tied up with strings...
As for me, 'I'll be Home For Christmas...if only in my dreams...'

Sounds as if you're having fun!!! Did you enjoy the rafting? You'll have to get one of those little microfiber blankets to carry with you on these refrigerated trips. Maybe it will keep you looking young...
Merry Christmas, sweetheart!

So...who was taking the white water rafting trip pictures...and who was IN the water? Was it fun? You weren't supposed to go rafting without EDDIE!! Guess you will have to plan another trip with him when you come home. Maybe Jenna can go with you too....
