We Have Arrived
dark by 6:30 pm near the equator
Well, our Lord was willing. We arrived right on schedule in Bogota and were met as advertised by our friend Mauricio. Once we got to Villavicencio he exclaimed that the drive has never gone so smoothly before in all his experience. We arrived at our hotel nearly an hour ahead of the planned schedule.
hope he stays there when I turn off the light
Our accommodations are certainly more than adequate at a modest hotel that boasts free Wi-Fi and a salamander in every room!
salamander not gecko
Tomorrow will be a full day of visiting two projects, one in Villavicencio and one near here in Restrepo. You'll be able to read more on what we learn tomorrow on Monday morning while we take off in the 4x4 over the rain-soaked llanos.
It's been a long, good day. Time to turn out the light...and try to forget about the salamander.
