i´m actually here. why did i study french in highscool? ablo espagnol?

---

Its not registering that i don´t have to go into work on monday. Oh....but i think it will hit me soon. I relax very easily. especially since on saturday, i´m getting aN HOUR message for only $20. OK. if i could figure out 3 things, travelling would be simplere

1. how to you get teh (at) symbol on these computers.
2. How do you not have a heart attack everytime you get in a car (already got into a fender bender...no worries though. the driver we hit just gave us a look and kept going).
3. how do you say you´re cute, can i take your picture, and then can you take me dancing. i know how to say the first part: se puesto tener uno photo y.....

Bogota is maybe twice the size of Nueva York. The mountains surrounding are green, like wheat grass or something. the city itself, looks like jamaica, with bike paths, and men that instead of yelling at you, take you two blocks out of their way to the blockbuster so you can get money out of the atm.

I WILL have pictures soon, and write something. but seeing as i haven´t emailed this blog address to anyone i think i have time to go take a nap, so i can go dancing later con mis amigos.

Little Boy in Shopping Plaza
I don't know what people picture when they think of Colombia, but it's very pretty....kind of like queens. And the people all look like they're related!

Colombian Corner
another picture i took out of the taxi. These taxi's are crazy! the only dangerous thing about colombia, we found.

Nuns in colombia
Colombia is probably more Catholic than my MOM! 90% of the population i think. They're all very respectful and polite, too. Fortunately none of that rubbed off on me.

Guys everywhere!
I don't know why guys always wanted to be in my pictures!

My friend, E shopping
We discovered early on, that shopping was a big part of our vacation. Fortunately everything's not too expensive...although colombia's economy is doing very well.

My other friend eating our $5 meal
For $5 we got a fresh fried fish meal, a fruity drink, a huge bowl of soup and dessert. This nice carribbean-looking man and his wife ran the restaurant.

My friends in front of the church
The bad thing about having a manual camera is no-one will ever take my picture.

Motorcyclists
motorcyclists have to wear huge vests with their license number to avoid drive by's ala All the President's Men. That, and a checkpoint on the bus were the only things that reminded me of Colombia's dangerous past. Everything else was a peach compared to NYC!

Our Hotel
We stayed in this lovely business hotel. Everyone was so nice, but the bell-hops were the best.
