Bogota, Colombia, South America

I woke up this morning and didn’t feel well at all. My stomach was in knots and I was feeling really tired. We had an amazing breakfast brought to us at 7am, and it included fresh fruit, pancakes, an omelette, fresh juice, hot chocolate, and granola with yogurt. It was amazing! Another amazing thing that happened is I called Copa Airlines this morning to see how much it would cost to change my flight, and I was able to change the flight to leave on the 14th, instead of tomorrow, for only $85! That was a no-brainer for me. I have a lot of time to get from Asuncion to Rio, and I don’t feel like I’ve had enough time in Colombia yet. And of course I’m happy I’ll get to spend more time with Melissa before I head off.

Melissa went off to work and checked in on me periodically through the morning. She’s the best. Since the aparthotel is only a few minutes from her office, Melissa came back and met me for lunch. I wasn’t sure how my lunch was going to go down (or come back up), so we decided just to get some soup and pasta at the hotel by room service. Melissa brought me an effervescent tablet too, and that seemed to help. The lunch made me feel a little better, and I decided to go out for a walk to get some “fresh” Bogota air. I went to a store called Panamericana and bought a new 1TB hard drive that should be enough for the rest of my trip. I’ve decided to leave the broken 2TB hard drive with Melissa while I go to Brazil. I’ll just wait to have my hard drive looked at when I get to the States. I think I can trust the work they’ll do there a little more than here in Colombia.

I got back to the hotel and still wasn’t feeling 100%, so I took another rest while I waited for Melissa to get back from work. I wasn’t feeling well enough to go out and do anything tonight, so we decided to get dinner delivered from P.F. Changs. I love the food from there, and once again they didn’t disappoint. It was a great decision and hopefully the food won’t disagree with me later on tonight when I’m trying to sleep. So far so good though…
