Getting our chill on

The weather seems to be changing. Doug and I went on a date Saturday night just up the hill from our apartment building, which is 23 stories by the way. We are on the 21st floor and the housekeeper opens the windows when she's cleaning or cooking to cool down the kitchen. The only problem is that even though we are 21 stories up...they don't think we need screens! So daily I have a mini heart attack when I can't see or hear sally! I can't even think about... AH! SO anyways, we have been locking the top latch to each window or shuting the doors between rooms when the windows are open. It's calmed me greatly since I found that latch. And I think my mother can sleep better since I told her about the locks. So we went to a place called Traffic San Jorge for dinner and Kate babysat! YAY! We got all dressed up and the food was amazing. And so beautiful. I said wrong things to the waitress in spanish, but at least I'm trying. I worried a few times about Sally but for the most part it was relaxing no one else was there so it was quiet and quick service. On our way home I was shivering! I didn't bring a jacket with to Bolivia...smart. Before we left it was just too crazy to organize. The air is dry and cool. But when the sun goes down or you are walking in the shade it's chilly. It does feel great to open the windows and clear out the house. Sally is doing well, sleeping better in her Pack'n'play. We are too since she's out of our bed. I'm going to enroll in a spanish 'speak easy' this week and hopefully get into one of the orphanages. I'll keep you posted.

  1. Manda,

    So fun to read your blog! Thank you for sharing everything you are seeing and doing. I just love reading it and reminiscing about Guatemala. Its crazy how many things have the same names and what not, like the parks and stuff. Aren't the Mercados so much fun! I became addicted to Bartering lol. Miss you. Wish I could come visit! I'm proud of you for practicing your Spanish as much as you can!

    Tell Doug and Sally hi from me.
