Today is a sunny 92 degrees fahrenheit in Barranquilla where everyone is getting ready for carnaval (see http://www.carnavaldebarranquilla.net ) which means everyone gets drunk for a week and no one works. There was a huge mud slide not far from my house in Medellin that wiped out several houses and killed several people not too long ago. It was on CNN when it happened.
As always, life in Colombia is great. The economy here is still skyrocketing. The weather is beautiful all year and the people are the friendliest that I have ever met anywhere in the world (and I have been MANY places). However, small things do get annoying like the fact no one knows how to fix a leather sofa!  And there is no Ikea!!! |
Great update!
On the boring side, I also can suggest Murphy's Oil Soap instead of the Saddle Soap. Easier to work with - work it in to a wet sponge and then use the sponge on the leather. Just again be sure and remove it well when done.
Stay in touch.
