We made it here!!! I haven´t had access to a computer but hope to soon. The flight was fine...the kids behaved very well. There was a little time when we arrived in Miami that Joaquin did his famous high pitched scream, but not for long. They both slept the whole way to Bolivia. I told Juan Pablo it was probably better traveling with out him (he gets so frustrated traveling, we could never win Amazing Race). When we arrived, the whole family was there to greet us with ballons and flowers at 530 in the morning!! All our bags arrived too, we had marked them with a huge red X in tape so they were very easy to find. I did forget the keys to the locks on them, but we cut them off. There is always something to forget!
We have spent the last few days adjusting to the altitude...meaning sleeping...the house is a complete mess with the contents of our bags spilled out everywhere. But the kids love the house!!! Isabela has a princess bed (pink with a canopy) just like she always wanted and she loves it. Of course they have both slept with me the last two nights, but once we are all unpacked that has got to stop. I can´t get any sleep with Isabela tossing and turning and Joaquin waking for his bear or slippers! in the middle of the night!
The weather is beautiful. I don´t know what I was complaining about the whole time! We are in short sleeve shirts during the day and a sweater at night. It´s like fall there. The sun is really strong so we have to put on sunblock everyday, and we have really chapped lips. Today we went to the park across the street...they call it the lagoon...and there is a huge playground and suspended bridge across the lake and paddle boats. So the kids had a ball, and now we are in the city watching a huge parade that lasts all day...with dancing and bands and beautiful costumes marching down the street. The kids are amazed and can´t be taken away from the window where they are watching it.
Juan Pablo isn´t working too much yet...he did a city tour the first day!! and left us to fend for ourselves for several hours...we just sat in his grandma´s store and watched the goingsons in the street. But we have a lot of paperwork to do so we can stay in the country.
Anyway, we are doing well and hope to be able to write more frequently in a few weeks!!

Hi Medinas!!!
We are so glad you finally made it and everything arrived safely. I hope all your packages that you shipped make it or made it okay as well.
Jeffy wants to say "Hi" to Isabella and Joaquin. He laughed out loud when I read him the blog about Joaquin's famous high pitched scream in the airport :)
Matt flew to Taiwan today for a week so it is just us three for a while. We will email you all soon!
