Giradot

While Lynn, Jill and Rob were here we decided to take a little 2 night trip to the warm country. We drove about 3 1/2 hours on winding roads down the mountains to get to Giradot, where it is always a sunny 90 or 95 degrees! The drive down was beautiful... but a little hard on the stomachs. Especially Amaya and Jay's. Amaya was eating a piece of cheese when suddenly without warning she threw up. Seconds later Jay followed her lead. Poor babies! Poor Jill who was sitting with them!! I don't know how everyone else in the car didn't start up too. Funny thing was immediately after throwing up Amaya said, "I want more cheese." Hahaha!

Mike's friend Rey here was amazing and let us not only borrow his new house with a private pool for the 2 nights but he also drove down there with us! 3 1/2 hours there and back just to show us around and make sure we were comfortable. He was amazing! The house was perfect for us. We had such a wonderful time swimming, especially Jay who is a little fish now. He was in heaven!

 Dancing to the music!

 They played keep away for hours!

We had some delicious meals there! We paid Rey's maid about $20 a day clean for us and her mom about $15 too cook. They were so sweet! The first day she made a yummy pasta and the second day she made bandeja paisa. It was SO good!!!

YUM!!!

At night we had some great food too. For dessert we tried a typical fruit slushie thing. Mike and Rob loved it. Jill and I had mixed feelings. They put pieces of guananaba in it and I HATE that fruit. It's slimy. 

Amaya and Jay liked the ice cream better in the end.

Jay found a little caterpillar friend one day and played with him for hours :)

We also saw this little tiny lizard. He was so cute!

Jay and MyMy also had fun exploring.

It was a great trip and we can't wait to go back again!
