We´d like to thank Jesus, my Mama, J.Lo, and...

the Guidis.

Dear Liz, Matt, and Nathan,
Thanks for the wonderful welcome we received in Bogota and your tremendous hospitality in hosting us and everyone else as they arrived. We had everything we wanted and needed - massages, homecooked meals, immaculate room, spacious bathroom, comfy queen bed, perfect holidays, and tons of love from all of you. For months as we dealt with challenging moments while backpacking we simply told ourselves that we had Bogota to look forward to. It certainly exceeded our expectations. We only wish that in the near future (well, once we get ourselves established again) we can offer the same kindness to you.


Dear Victoria,
We love you! Thanks for getting us off our lazy butts and getting us active and exploring. We can´t wait to see you in El Salvador and take you with us for a little backpacking adventures of your own. We´ll be there soon enough.


Dear Maribel,
The only non-Guidi on our list. Seeing you was perfect! Thanks for bringing all of our favorite stuff from the states, especially one of our favorite friends. We had a great time boozing it up Bogota style.

Dear Mom and Henry,
Rock climbing, rafting, dancing, shopping - your energy is totally inspirational and contagious! We were so happy to share the holidays and Joc´s 30th birthday with you. Thanks for treating us to our favorite things from home, dinners, Villa de Leyva, and your presence. Can´t wait to do it again.


Dear Laura, Craig, and Birdie,
We´re psyched you completed the picture. It just wouldn´t have been the same without you. Get geared up and lets plan a sweet summer vacation in Central America.



The Guidi clan holiday reunion in Colombia was perfect. Nothing like luxuries and loved ones to excite two very lucky backpackers.
