contrary to popular belief...I am still writing on this thing...

Okay, we are still here. I just haven't written in a while. Yesterday we were able to go to a village for a while, to walk around and enjoy being outside of the hotel and the normal shopping area. It was nice to be among the people in a setting that was different, as it always brings out more of the authentic flavor of the culture of Colombia . We had fun walking around and enjoying some very delicious bread at a local bakery. It continues to amaze me how cheap the good bread is around here. We were also able to get some delicious juice with it, along with a piece of cake (fed all of us) for about 5 bucks. It was a good time.

I had a bad eating experience (helped along by my easily discernable bad mood) last night, unable to find much of anything that was desireable, I went with a meal that I enjoyed before. I did not enjoy it last night. It was not what it was supposed to be, and with the language difficulties I was not going to send it back or exchange it. I ate a good portion of it, but swore to give up on the restaraunt. I don't think my words said in futility and desperation are going to stick, but I wish they would...I could easily survive on bread for dinner from here on out.

Today the pool was closed for cleaning most of the day. Shirley was the only one really disappointed, as she was really looking forward to the pool. We are actually getting ready to go now, so I better get going. I will write more later.

Side note: I got my espresso today...
