Babba is home and we are so excited about that!
Ian spent the week in beautiful Colombia. It is the second or third time he has gone in recent months. Usually he works in the city of Bogota, but this visit bought him to the mountainous northern city of Bucaramanga in the Santander Department. Here is a picture he sent the kids to see.
We love the gifts he brings from Colombia: woven bags, hand sewn dolls, braided jewelry and coffee. Oh the coffee...it is amazing! Nothing here compares...even the stuff marked "Colombian".
This visit he partook of a regional treat - harmigas culonas or "big-butt-ants". I kid you not.
Roasted hormigas culonas are roasted and served like peanuts.
And what do these critters taste like?
In his own words, they "taste a bit like peanuts or bacon popcorn!"
I like peanuts.
I like bacon.
I like popcorn.
I surely would have passed, however, on the harmigas culonas!!!
Love my man's adventurous spirit, though.
Looking forward to our weekend....new members class at church, birthday parties, basketball, and Babba's stories from Bucaramanga!
