I'm in Dallas visiting with the kids and telling them bye. I'm still waiting on my passport to arrive and anticipate leaving around the 5th of September.
I've had my shots that are required, I've taken care of my eye visit while in Dallas and now I'm just waiting!
I've been studying my Spanish and I've also been trying to get familiar with the money conversion so I thought it would be fun to share how it works out from Colombian Peso (COP) to US dollars. Below I found a very helpful chart.
We finally received our contract for our condo and Robert is moving in on Tuesday. Monday is a Colombian holiday so it was pushed back a few days. It was really funny to read the contract and see our rental payment listed as $5,600,000. Yes we are paying 5 million 6 hundred dollars in rent!
I also received the inventory list of what is in the condo and let's just say...I have lots to buy to make it like home. The basics are there but what we as Americans are accustomed to having in our homes, kitchens and baths is lacking but it will be fun to personalize it and make it our on. I've done this before in Thailand and I can do it again, which I love a challenge so it will be fun! One thing I have found that is different in Colombia verses Thailand is that I actually have more options for shopping. I've already even been able to look online at what they have available in the stores and determine what I need to bring from home. The variety in bedding and linens seems to be lacking much like Thailand was so I plan on bringing that from the US.
I'll keep you posted on how it all works out.
Here is the chart that shows the conversion rate:
