R and R

We're back safe in the hotel after a relaxing day in Cartagena...which is about a 2-hour bus ride from our hotel in Barranquilla. We spent the day on the beach and by the pool, doing a little shopping and seeing the historic city center.

We returned to our hotel to find Ed doing much better and he recovered fast from whatever he had - most likely dehydration. Too bad he and Ellen weren't able to be with us for the day but so good to see him bounce back to good health.

So many stories to tell...so many details to finish and haven't even started packing. We leave at 7AM for the airport so signing off for now. Will attempt to do one more post of pictures when I get home and have some pictures from several other photographers.

Thanks again for your support and prayers. We definitely felt the power of prayers this week as we had a couple of near incidents (wall collapse and an electrical cable fell on the bus - like I said, we have stories yet to tell!) that could have been much more serious. Also, for the most part, the group was very healthy all week and many details came together to enable a successful finish.
