We arranged for our interpreter / guide Magnolia to drive us to the ChipiChape shopping centre this morning to help us find some books on Cali and Colombia plus some music CDs from this region.
We spent a few hours looking through bookstores and bought some lovely books that we will keep for Andres when he is older – to give him an idea about what Cali and Colombia are like.
We also bought some CDs full of chilrens songs (in Spanish) that Magnolia tells us they play at the orphanage Chiquitines. We will have to learn the words so we can sing them with Andres. We also bought some CDs with local music from around Colombia and another with salsa music played by three well regarded Cali bands.
Spend the afternoon napping again – while I also spent some time organising photos and updating the blog a bit.
