After falling on the floor a few times during the night, I fell asleep. I had a few odd dreams over the night but regret to say that I can not recall them. Anyways I woke up to an enchanting smell of eggs, coffee, and arepa. Arepas are a sort of breakfast burrito bade which some kind of ground dough. When I stood up out of bed and looked over towards the kitchen I saw the clock on the wall, it was 9AM and I think it was Tuesday. I was wondering where Gorge's wife and child were when it hit me, it isn't even spring break she must be at work and there son most have been taken to school. I slowly walked over to the kitchen when I saw a hot plate of eggs, coffee, and arepas with a sticky note on it. The sticky note read
"Daniel, este alimento es para usted. He tomado hijo Gorges a la escuela, y me voy atrabajar.
Atentamente,
Garganta del terror"
in english that means "Daniel, this food is for you. I have taken Georges son to school, and I am off to work.
Sincerely,
Gorge's Wife

That clarified where his wife was but I still didn't know where Gorge was. So I timidly raised my voice to just above a yell and asked to the whole house "¿GORGE?". I heard the ruffling of covers in the room where I last saw Gorge enter, probably his bedroom. I peeked in and there he was sitting up in bed reading a book he looked over to me and said "¿Si?" with a very chipper upbeat sound in his voice I told him about his wife and son and asked him if he had breakfast, he had and he already knew his wife and son had left. He said that they left at about 6AM and he woke up with them. Well I felt kind of bad that I had slept so late on their schedule so I offered to make him breakfast in an American way, he politely declined he said that he had only one thing on his agenda today, a man in Bogota had a fused electrical surge protector. We walked over to the kitchen and he read the paper as I ate my breakfast.


We hoped in the car at about 11 and road out to Bogota.
over the course of the day we went to an amazing little cafe stand and as he drove me to the airport the next day I felt we were so well acquainted that it wasn't awkward sitting in the car in silence. He took me to the gate of the airplane and I gave him a hug good-bye. It was an amazing trip I will tell my kids when I grow old.
