Ciénaga de Mallorquín
February 20, 2016
This past Saturday I went for a walk at the Ciénaga de Mallorquín. I hadn't been there yet, and had only seen a couple pictures of it. So I took a bus up north, about 8 kilometers (about 4 1/2 miles) from my apartment. In brief, it is a lagoon of the Caribbean Sea which separates Barranquilla from the Caribbean, and which is surrounded by mangroves. I posted pictures in the photo album, just look for Ciénaga de Mallorquín in the Colombia photo album.

Carnaval!
February 1, 2016
Hello to everyone!
The Carnaval has just finished on Tuesday the 9th, after a month of parties, dancing, concerts, and parades. This year I went to three of the major parades - the Batalle de Flores, The Gran Parada de Comparsas, and the Joselito se va con la Cenizas. I did not go to the Guacherna and Gran Parada de Tradicion. Maybe next year I will go to those. There are many pictures (taken with my cellphone, not a real camera) in the photo album so be sure to have a look at them.

Suggestions for learning English

Hello to everyone!
Let's see, what is new? I have made some changes to my group of students. I've replaced a few with new students.

I've signed up two new students that have 5 lessons a week, and two others who are doing 3 lessons per week. I just hope these new students don't cancel so many lessons.

Hello to everyone! Happy new year to you all!
"Tomorrow is the first page of a 365 page book. Write a good one." - Brad Paisley.
I like that quote. I started my new book two and a half years ago, and no, it hasn't been all wine and roses, but I love my new life. I am sitting here in my little apartment, the front and back doors wide open and a very pleasant Caribbean breeze blowing through, drying my laundry hanging in the patio.

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas
December 26, 2015
Hello to everyone! Happy new year and merry Christmas to you all!
I am doing fine. I started a new student a couple days ago. If I counted my students correctly I have nine adults (two married couples) and 6 children. That will change in January as a couple students I didn't count have taken December off for a vacation month, and one took the last two months because she got married today.
