Una breve estancia en Turbo

Cuando el lunes 7 de septiembre salimos de Mompox a las 6 de la mañana en dirección Turbo, sabíamos que nos esperaba otro Largo día de transportes. Las distancias se hacen largas en Colombia, primero porque es un país grande, segundo porque la geografía no permite ir más rápido y tercero porque...

Tolú y Mompox

Tolú es un Pueblo típico de Costa dónde mayoritariamente veranea gente del país situado al suroeste de Cartagena. Pasamos un día agradable dando una vuelta por el paseo marítimo, las calles con un delicioso jugo de frutas 100% natural (están que se salen!!!!) También hicimos una pequeña...

Nuevo Comencio

My first impression of Colombia was great - everything I expected! A population of beautiful people in a beautiful country that have been living in a dangerous and corrupt atmosphere to the point that they now live life to the fullest. My friends in Pasto helped initiate this...

CARTAGENA, UNA IMAGEN VALE MAS QUE MIL PALABRAS… ¿Y MIL IMÁGENES?

Caeremos en el dicho popular de que una imagen vale más que mil palabras, pero la ciudad de Cartagena, aquí en Colombia, no puede describirse con palabras, o por lo menos nosotros no podemos. Así que desde la humildad de unos principiantes escritores de historietas de viaje, solamente vamos a...

Tippin the hat to Medellin

I slept one night to the hacking and grunting that had been going on every night for the past 17 days in my couchsurfing apartment. I awoke and took my last shower in that icy stream that had no shower head, but only a rusty old pipe. I took one last glance out the 11th Story window, seeing the...

Fast-Forwarding the blog a bit: Armenia, Salento, and then Cali with Ricardo, the climber from Chile...

I took a bus from Medellin to Armenia. The city has been destroyed by many earthquakes. I got in late and wasnt able to catch the bus to Salento. I stayed the night in a dingy motel. I awoke the next morning and took a bus to Salento. Salento is in Zona Cafaterra, the most popular coffee region...

Futbol en Medellín

Right now I'm in Medellín and it's 28-32 always. It's called "The City of Eternal Spring". Yeah, after many months in moderate to cold temperatures I am finally in hot weather!! Woot woot!! It's beautiful here too - many trees and parks that create shaded areas perfect for mugging oblivious...

The city known for Breast Implants and Silicone Butt-cheeks

Colombians are some of the most curious people I have met in this lifetime. everywhere I go I get a stare. I dont know whether its the fact that I am taller than most of the locals, they like to curiously check out anything and everything that comes into their path of vision, or maybe a...

The City Gives Me A Beat To Tap My Walkin Shoes....

I walked into a dimly-lit, Victorian-style, theater the other night for a bit of theatrical amusement. The event taking place was known as the Teatro de Los Cuentos, or the theater of short stories. A friend and I walked down some stairs to this theater which was underground. We were 20 minutes...
