BarranquiJazz and my job at Kal Tire
September 18, 2014
Hi everybody! I hope all are doing well. I am.
Things have changed quite a lot in my work situation - Kal Tire, my employer, is not my employer any more. I was laid off from my job, as well as 4 or 5 other people, here in Barranquilla, and many, many more at other Kal Tire locations worldwide. The worst part about this is not the loss of income but the loss of the work visa.

So what's new here? Well, lets see, ah, rain. Ready for this? Here in Colombia, in Barranqilla, it has now rained 4 times. This year. And each time it lasted for less than 15 minutes. Pretty unbelievable, I know, after all, isn't this a tropical country? Yes. But here in Barranquilla it is a sub-tropical/temperate region.

Las Flores, dinner, more photos

Hi Everyone! I hope all are doing well. I am.
Here the Carnaval just finished this past Tuesday. The main weekend was last weekend, with parades and concerts all over the city. The main parades, in downtown, were on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, with more smaller parades on Tuesday. I didn't see much of them, the crowds are unbelievably huge, and unless you get to the parade route at least a couple hours early you will be stuck at the back of the crowd unable to see anything more than heads walking down the road.
