we GOT SCAMMED in COLOMBIA | Night Bus from Bogota to Salento
Whelp.. we got scammed.
We had been so careful prior to this vlog about avoiding many of the common taxi scams. We always took Uber or whatever local equivalent we could find because we've just heard so much about taxi scams in Colombia. But we couldn't do anything about it and had to hail a taxi because we were in too much of a rush to wait for an Uber and... we got scammed. It was a frustrating travel day, but at least we made it from Bogota to Salento in 1 piece. All-in-all a learning moment for sure.

Santa Elena Cloud Forest in Costa Rica | Visiting in January

We came face to face with the realities of visiting Costa Rica in January. It's the dry season for Costa Rica which means that sometimes the cloud forest is not so... cloudy. We chose to visit the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve as opposed to Monteverde because we heard it was less crowded and equally as beautiful. Unfortunately, we seemed to pick the one day that the clouds decided not to sho...

    The granary had Gosselink Builders stenciled inside. They were located west of town before the town expanded and made farm outbuildings. The Gosselinks were friends of our family and we played in the buildings every time we were there. The Pella refugees landed in Baltimore, not Boston. My great-grandfather was a Pella wooden shoe maker. A pair of his wooden shoes were presented to Teddy Roosevelt when he came through Pella on a train from Des Moines to Keokuk.

    My “boyfriend” and I went through this the summer before senior year. I didn’t understand and I was devastated at the time LOL but he needed the summer to get himself together and deal with some demons that I knew nothing about at the time. We have been together ever since. Married 15 years now with a 14 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. It all comes down to communication and work ethic, and selflessness. Other people do not have a crystal ball and we get so aggravated with people because we assume they must know how we feel and that they are doing whatever it is, on purpose. Unless you have a real deceitful spouse, that’s never the case… communication! We have even had to really work on that again in the last year. It can be an ongoing thing sometimes as you go through the seasons of life!
