Well I am on my last week here in Colombia and can't wait to get home. The work has been fun, but the hours are a killer. I have been getting up at 1:30 ever morning to launch the aircraft and then fall back asleep around 6:30. I get back up around 10:00 o'clock to go meet the plane for refuel and then 2 hours latter I go meet the plane for recovery. I then spend the next few hours fixing any problems that raised during the flight. I then come and FaceTime with Ang and the kids till around 10:30 or 11. Then off to bed for a couple of hours to do it again. We only have one down day a week when the plane is not flying. I have been restricted to the base, so I haven't gotten to see much of colombia. Tomorrow we are going to the other side of the base where they have monkeys and crocodiles living on base. I have seen a lot of iguanas on base. There is a big 6 ft long one that is often in the trees by our building. There are also a lot of trianchilias running around outside our rooms.
On my way home we are stopping in Panama and they will be taking groups of people to see the canal. That will be something new and exciting. Well I love you all and look forward to being home.
Sean,
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. We appreciate what you do for our country and for your family. I expect Columbia would be beautiful if you could get out and see it. Enjoy the canal, that is a cool thing.
