DAY 8
It would be so easy to stay in Colombia, venture out to go meet new people and then just fly back home where I will be back in my comfort zone. Part of me secretly would like to do that, but my true self knows there is a long road ahead and the journey is the most important thing to do.
We went to visit Gregory's home for the evening. Along the way we stipped at one of the many shops that line all the streets so Pilar and Ciro can buy something for them. It seems to be tradtition that when you visit a home, you take food with you. The family is just like everyone else I have met so far, the time together is centered around eating good fresh made food and lots of conversation. This evening we played games like Coca, Genga and something else I do not know the name of. The whole family is incredibly respectful, kind, considerate and appears to have a big heart. I really enjoyed being in their presence.
I made a video of it too but will upload that another time
One interesting point is that I have seen a few people around wearing masks due to the pollution. My one concern with living somewhere like this would be the amount of pollution in such a low oxygen environment.
