rough days

After reading a lot of your comments, I realized that I was doing exactly what I do not like people to do, paint a picture as if everything was rosy. We are truly having a great time, but that does not come with some hard times along the way. I will try to compose a list of the hard times that we have had here in Colombia. Albeit, I am not looking for sympathy, I just want all of you to know that things are not always peachy keen.

1. We were walking the other day in the center sidewalk of a four lane road, when we realized that we were being followed by a motorcycle. He had circled us a number of times and then stopped to wait and we took another sidewalk to the hotel. A good wake up call to always be street smart.
2. Last evening I walked into the bathroom while the girls we bathing when I caught Tatiana pushing Kathrine's head under the water, it was all in fun, but she got into trouble, which caused tears and I had a hard time with it because I couldn't explain properly why she was in so much trouble.
3. Tatiana is dealing with a lot of emotions, which is really hard for both of us. She has such a hard time falling asleep. Once she is asleep she is fine, in fact last night she fell out of bed and never woke up.
4. Minor issue: You have to pay to use the pubic bathrooms here and they never have toilet paper in them, if you forget to take tissues along--well...
5. Mystery meat
6. pillows- they are very similar to rocks
7. Lack of space- we are in a room about 14x14, our bed and two small beds for the girls take up the floor space, though we sometimes take over the living room in the hotel.

So there are seven things that have been difficult, we are human, and have rough days. :)
