Back in Colombia, six years later...

It has been almost 24 hours now since I arrived here in Colombia. Finally, I stopped looking for my cell phone (thinking that I lost it). I am now used to the fact that it is SO hot that you can actually feel the weight of the heat. I tried to find the places that I remember from when I was here in 2002, but the juice stands are in a place that is under construction and the hotel that I stayed at before is nowhere to be found. Regardless, I did find the same neighborhoods, the same places that I use to work, and the cool plazas filled with tropical plants and huge shady trees. Oh... and the internet places, AKA the only places around with air conditioning.

I arrived late yesterday afternoon and ended up staying in a place that wasn´t so nice. It was one of those places where you have to touch the wires together to make the light come on because the switch doesn´t work anymore. And everything in the bathroom was at a slant for some reason (like the sink and toilet). Regardless, I went two doors down and found a nicer place, a little cheaper too (go figure) and with a better fan. Next time, I will remember the camera cable and will post some of the pictures that I have been taking around the city!

Its great to be able to buy fresh coconut water and freshly squeezed orange juice on the street anytime that I want! It seems like all that I can do is drink liquids. Ha ha.
