An uneventful and anxiety filled day

An Uneventful & Anxiety Filled Day

July 21, 2012

We checked out of Art Suites and headed to the airport.

Flight #1: Medellin to Bogota.

2 ½ hour layover

Since I’m on the Bridget Jones Diet (fatten up) I ate a fattening lunch followed by an arequipe donut from Dunkin Donuts.

Flight #2: Bogota to Armenia.

When we arrived in Armenia, twelve of us had no luggage! The plane we traveled on was very small and could not hold all the weight, so they hoped by tonight they’d be able to get the bags to the hotel… Of course this was the first time on this entire trip, roughly five flights later, that I checked both my bags. Emotional, annoyed, and home sick I sat on the bus until the next stop. We arrived in a small town in Armenia and watched the sun set. As we walked through the town Jessica, Erin, I decided to buy cheesy Colombia tee shirts to wear out to dinner tonight. Along the way I also picked up a really cute sundress, just in case my bags didn’t arrive I’d have something to wear tomorrow.

After a long dinner, where half of us were falling asleep or aggravated, we learned that the bags had arrived! I left dinner, walked across the street and was so thrilled to see little red & big red, my two pieces of luggage. Big red’s lock got clipped! I’d love to see the airport worker’s face when he or she opened by big bag and saw seven zip lock bags filled with clothes and a 8 x 10 painting drawn by a child that I bought in Colombia.
