Manezales is coffee country and it's absolutely gorgeous!
Because Mr. Gilman (my principal) is the head DI man in Colombia, we stayed at a beautiful hotel just outside the city.
Our first night there, we were all invited to a DI party at a local club in town. It was fabulous with entertainers and music and food.
We all had a good time, although because we had left at 6 in the morning that day, the girls pooped out about halfway through!
Luckily, there was dancing and a show, so they livened back up!
But the real excitement was at the DI tournament itself. There was lots of tension in the air as we waited for our turn.
And then the challenge was on!!
The girls did a great job, and it was nice to relax and enjoy all the tournament offered, including face painting, shopping, and just playing!
Our last night was awesome. We enjoyed the music of a youth band and then awaited the announcement of the winners.
Our girls took second in the challenge (Yay), won a special prize for their teamwork (Yay!) and were the best hat makers in the house (Yay!!).
I am very proud of how these five remarkable young ladies pulled together to become a winning team!

Wow, gorgeous view! It looked like all of you had a fun trip. :)
That was a lot of pictures. Did you know that one of those girls looks like me when I was younger...in a lot of those pictures. Weird. It kinda freaked me out looking at them.
Sorry I haven't been around your blog lately! But I really like these pictures, very pretty landscape! :)
