If you ever want to see something gross, go to the doctor and ask them to wash your ears out. So I got water stuck in my ear and after a few days of only being able to hear out of my right ear, I went to the doctor. They put a big plastic syringe in my ear and shot saline solution in a couple of times. It was gross. And my ear is still clogged so they gave me the syringe so I can continue washing my ear out every day, and putting in glycerine drops too.
I am in Taganga now, a small fishing town outside of Santa Marta. I remember seeing some tourists here before, but now it seems like an Israeli colony... even the restaurant signs are written in Hebrew. Its a little bit disturbing actually. The rest of the town though remains the same: very poor, laid-back and relaxed. There are some nice beaches that are within walking distance, after crossing over a couple mountain ridges. The mountains surrounding Taganga are dry and arid and the village itself is in a small bay so the water is almost always still and crystal clear.
Today I am leaving for a small town outside of Santa Marta. I still haven´t decided which small town to go to... either Palomino, Buritaca or Quebrada Valencia. All three are very very small towns, much greener than here (unfortunate for the mosquito situation). Regardless, I will be disconnected from the internet for a few days, so nobody should worry!
from the amount of water lodged in your ear im hope your not walking in circles from the lack of equilibrium.
