Hello all. I wish I'd found this site sooner, or rather, I wish I'd been able to post everything since I've been born. Not only would it be less work now, but I'd be able to look back on many, many memories. So what I'm going to do is start chronologically since 1983.

February, 1986 My father was working for an Exxon-affiliate in Colombia and he was transferred to Boise, ID. I know, of all places we get shipped to Boise.

My mom says she liked it a lot; it was a nice, quiet town. It only had one shopping center, and the first mall was being built when we left. I guess I can say this is when and [View Full Entry]

November 24th, 1983 It was a Thursday. At 6:00AM I came into the world. I was born at the Clinica del Caribe, in Barranquilla, Colombia. I was my parents' first-born, so in a way, I would become the guinea pig. So far the experiment has turned out nicely. About Barranquilla Barranquilla is a city in the northern part of Colombia. It lies next to the Magdalena river and the Atlantic ocean. It's only 18 meters above sea level and has an average temperature of 28C (82.4F).
