In Uruguay, I visited five, and in Brazil, three. And in Paraguay I have visited 26. In Colombia I've visited 85. That's 217 towns/cities in South America.

Puerto Colombia and Syntactic Pleonasm

A beach sunset in Puerto Colombia.

Hi to my family and friends in the USA, and to the others that read my blog. First of all - I am doing well, am healthy, not wealthy, and hopefully a little wiser. :)

A couple weeks ago my girlfriend, Vivi, gave me the phone she had, as her brother gave her a phone, as it turns out it is the same model. So now we both have the same phones. Anyway, the phone she gave me is pink.

New Photos, Malecon

Jan 24, 2014

The older section of the malecon in Barranquilla.

I have uploaded a few more pics into the Barranquilla photo album. Have a look and maybe leave comments on any photos you like.

Carnaval kick-off, more students

Jan 20, 2014

Two young boys enjoying being in the carnaval.

The Barranquilla Carnaval got started this past weekend. The Carnaval Queen opened the celebrations with a speech and there was a concert. The crowd was huge, and I mean HUGE! My friend Vivi and I went down there to see the festivities, it was late, after 11pm when we headed there. She didn't want to go, but did so with me. I was hoping to get somewhat close to the stage to see the bands, but that was a hopeless task.

New Year 2014

Jan 8, 2014

This large nativity scene was in the Viva mall.

I'm back. I should have written sooner but have been busy, which is a good thing. So I last left you with mentioning about the english presentations here at work. The presentation day came and people were busy practicing and discussing what they were doing for their own presentation. There were a couple people who did karaoki, and a couple who did a family tree presentation.

Christmas and company parties

Dec 28, 2013

This was the life size nativity scene in the Portal del Prado mall.

The photo album is working now, yay! Be sure to check it out.

I didn't do a very good job of keeping track of things to write about, so I am just going from what I can remember this time.

Lets see, Kal Tire had a party at a place called Zunilda (http://www.villazunilda.com/). It was very nice. I have some pics in the Barranquilla photo album. We had a very nice lunch, dancing, swimming for the kids, paddle boats on the pond.
