Colombia 2008

Stayed first at Bogota(City) and to Anolaima(town), Colombia.
Temps are about mid 40*F in night and 70*F in day in the high elevations of the mountains.

I (Mark) went to see my sister in Colombia who is teaching English at a local school in Anolaima.
I went with my siblings and brother-in-law to see Colombia and give my sister 'Happy Birthday' wishes.

The people in Anolaima may be poor but rich within their family life.
I appreciate more of what I have and thank God we can share within the missions.

Here is what Lisl Hershberger had to say about Anolaima.

Fascinating gallery of a country I have never visited (probably never will either). Beautiful work Mark! :)
