Hey FTD....I was actually in Miami for a while looking at all the (not) cheap real estate bargains everyone is talking about but no one seems to be able to show me. I saw my first real Carrera GT. It is also a good thing I have learned some Spanish since you are more likely to find an English speaking person in Colombia than in Miami.
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!!!
