Lunch= camarones a la criolas y cuba libre....muy bien!!!

Colombians are some of the friendliest people ever. People call you friend in the street, and use "mi amore" as a term of endearment, even to some gringo travelers. The owner of our hotel carried my bag up 3 flights of stairs. The cabbie turned down payment untill he had gotten all our bags out of the car for us. The young guy in the van/bus from Taganga gave me his seat so I wouldn't have to sit in the sit that almost dangled out of the ever open van door. People shake our hands and ask us where we are from, and talk to us in rapid spanish, all smiles. I love the people here, and the scenery is not bad either. I just wish I handled extreme heat a little better. I get really sweaty and puffy, and red, and so bug bitten! But I think the incredible beaches, and food (fresh seafood is hard to beat! And eatting it on the beach under thatched palm roofs is the icing!), the people, and the fresh wind off the water make it so that I can't imagine being anywhere else. Tomorrow morning Wyatt and I are hoofing it out to the airport early morning with champagne on ice (as long as it lasts!) to meet up with 6 weary travelers from Portland. Then we will make our way to Taganga and set up house for the month we will be there. Really looking forward to seeing friends and relaxing beach side for a while!
