There was supposed to be internet at the hotel but it´s broken with seeming no hope of repair while we´re here. Because our access will be very limited, we´re going to just use Lori´s blog to make updates. So, click on the link at the right to see what we´re up to.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2914663893692747151-7520276879397185605?l=incolombiatrip.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dave McCleeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00695671236144227212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914663893692747151.post-87234008789731536602009-07-05T12:23:00.000-07:002009-07-05T12:34:56.088-07:00Our hotel does not have internet and this is the first time I have had a chance to blog. I have a short time and then need to share. <br /><br />We got to the Chicago hotel with no problem. Traffice was great going west. Bumper to bumper heading east. We ate and then decided to get to bed since we had to get up at 500 AM.<br />100 am the fire alarm went off. I peeked out the door and so was everyone else. We all headed out of the hotel and then the emergency vehicles came. We still don´t know what triggered the alarm. About 20 minutes and we were back in our room.<br /><br />Morning came. You know how you get three little bottles (shampoo, conditioner, and lotion). Well I didn´t have my glasses on and so washed my hair and decided to condition it with lotion....I guess my hair was extra soft that day.<br /><br />The flights were long but no problems. William met us at the airport. He is the son of Martha. What surprised me was there was no military when we got off. We had to take two taxis. We had so much luggage. Plus I found out that the cars run on natural gas and gasoline so a tank is in the trunk. The ride to the hotel was very interesting. The road was bumper to bumper filled with taxis and busses and carts and horses and motor bikes and pedestrians. Continuous honking takes place as everyone vies for position. I was expecting more of a tourist town with pockets of poverty. All I saw was poverty. Everywhere. Graffiti on walls, garbage everywhere. I´m guessing the laws for littering is not the same. <br /><br />I am going to share this blog with Jackie and Dave and we´ll sign our names at the end so you know who is blogging. Time for me to share the computer.<br /><br />Miss all of you.<br /><br />Lori<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2914663893692747151-8723400878973153660?l=incolombiatrip.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SAAT Membersnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914663893692747151.post-40882575503147352722009-07-03T19:50:00.000-07:002009-07-03T19:56:59.304-07:00We've arrived in Chicago to do the Park and Fly thing at a hotel near O'Hare. I can hear the grand finale of some fireworks going on at the moment.<br /><br />Happy Independence Day!<br /><br />We're off to O'Hare on the 6:25am shuttle from the hotel and depart at 8:45. We're scheduled to arrive in Barranquilla, Colombia at 4:37pm so please pray for good travels.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2914663893692747151-4088257550314735272?l=incolombiatrip.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dave McCleeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00695671236144227212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914663893692747151.post-15268696046158511782009-07-03T19:24:00.000-07:002009-07-03T19:45:51.967-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7VR4z1xh3Fg/Sk7CKmcojjI/AAAAAAAAAFE/3d6eQVahneo/s1600-h/Fri+Jul+3+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7VR4z1xh3Fg/Sk7CKmcojjI/AAAAAAAAAFE/3d6eQVahneo/s200/Fri+Jul+3+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354430494365224498" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7VR4z1xh3Fg/Sk6_JWbh3sI/AAAAAAAAAE8/Kekf2yxYjiY/s1600-h/Fri+Jul+3+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7VR4z1xh3Fg/Sk6_JWbh3sI/AAAAAAAAAE8/Kekf2yxYjiY/s200/Fri+Jul+3+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354427174350872258" border="0" /></a><br />This was us packing the extra suitcases with school supplies - thousands of crayons, books, dictionaries and other stuff.<br /><br />Yes just three of us - Lori, Jackie, and Dave - but we hope we can be of encouragement and service to the I.N.
