Cheers to the power of the senses of taste and smell. Livin' La Vida Colombiana. Do you think ...

Livin' la Vida Colombiana. Friday, November 27, 2009. The Chaos, I mean the Science Fair. The Chaos, I mean the Science Fair. I knew it was going to be a long day, but I didn’t exactly know what was planned for the Science Fair. As you’d expect, kids brought their projects and displays, set them up, and there were judges. What you might not expect is that it was second through twelfth grade and it was from 7:00 – 2:30. What were the students supposed to do? Did kids run around, misbehave, and fight?

Livin' la Vida Colombiana. Friday, April 30, 2010. My Love Affair with Maracuya. My Love Affair with Maracuya. I’m not quite sure how it started, but I fell in love with maracuya. For a while it was nispero, but in the end, maracuya won my heart. Maracuya inside and out. Was it the shiny yellow outside? Could it be because it's lightweight yet strong? No, it must be the way it made an impression on my lips and mouth.luscious. Maracuya, water, ice, and a little sugar. No, just a hollowed out maracuya.

On Christmas day I left the main island in the Bocas del Toro archipelago and took the water taxi to Isla Carenero to meet up with my friends Rahul and Rohan. This was a smaller island and when I arrived at the dock the man who ran the hotel said, “Elizabeth? On the left is where we stayed, on the right is Bibi's Restaurant. The next morning we arose...

http://lavidacolombiana.blogspot.com/2010/05/bocas-de-ceniza.html
Livin' la Vida Colombiana. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. It was a rainy Sunday afternoon in Barranquilla and instead of going for a walk, Yoyi suggested going to el rio. I knew he meant the Magdalena River, which is a border of Barranquilla. I had crossed it on the bus to Santa Marta, but I hadn’t really been there before. Is good place to go. We got to the Bocas de Ceniza trencito. The suffix – ito. Or –i ta. Really was a trencito. It wasn’t a really a train, but it did run on a track. Look at el trencito.

The ease of recharging your minutes to your phone is amazing. I bought a cell phone with no monthly plan. I paid for $10 worth of minutes when I got the phone and was kind of dreading the recharge. There are signs all over the place for llamadas. Which just means calls. They told me at the phone place that I could go to one of those llamadas. I love this system.

Karen, Dave, and I had been calling it Aguila World so long I thought that’s what it was actually called, but apparently it isn’t. It does have a lot of Aguila. An Aguila living room set. Dave called it a torre de cerveza. Wow, inte...
