top 10: a few of our favourite things.

From the past seven months, in somewhat chronological order, here are the kids' favourite things about Colombia, so far:

1. Riding in taxis everywhere...without car seats!

2. Roasting marshmallows at our team retreat.

3. Feeding pigeons in Plaza de Bolivar, seeing Botero's "fat" paintings and sculptures, and riding the funicular up and down Monserrate in Bogotá.

4. Having a pool in our apartment complex (even though the water is cold).
5. Spotting geckos in our house.
6. So many tropical fruits like granadilla, lulo, guanabana, mangostino, pitaya amarilla, and carambola.

7. The Cali Zoo and seeing exotic animals and birds.
8. Putting candles on the sidewalk for Día de las Velitas to mark the beginning of the Christmas season.
9. Riding a willy jeep through the Cocora Valley that took us to see the world’s tallest palm trees.
10. Going to the beach and exploring the secret tunnels beneath Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas in Cartegena.
