chloe comments on Moving to Colombia with criminal records- Help.

I have many friends who have gotten in trouble before, both state and federal level, they had no problem with passport, visa, not sure what the current laws are now.

chloe comments on Creps and Waffles

Love this restaurant, food is not Colombian but like the menu, desserts are great.

chloe comments on Aguardiente: Drinking Guaro In Sabaneta

I enjoy a shot of Aguardiente with lime, remember my first night barely, I just kept taking the shots until it hit me, it was over then for me, I was off to bed. Have not had a shot in years, as I can not find it in my town, but when I returned to Medellin months ago, couldn't wait to have some esp. sitting outside of the farm with all my friends, but will only have a few shots now, creeps up on you.

chloe comments on 1st time Gringo Visiting Medellin

I just stayed at a finca about 2 months ago in Santa Elena, no problems, spent a couple of nights, you'll have a great time. Locals will watch out for any concerns and the locals that take care of the finca. Have a great time

chloe comments on Airline tickets

RUV, thanks for all the info, I will keep watching, son is real excited to go meet his father for only the 2nd time, can't remember him when he was 2, he really wants to learn more about his country, culture, and his other family in Medellin.

chloe comments on Airline tickets

Ruv, You are right, I should have gotten a rush for the passports, I was told in 8 to 10 weeks since mine was a renewal, figured I'd have plenty of time, now I will wait for the passports, my ex in Medellin said to just get the reservations because I could find a good deal on the tickets, I will keep watching and reserve.Will probably fly out of Miami then I can stay there a couple of days and enjoy south beach. thanks, chloe

chloe comments on Airline tickets

Once the passports arrive, I will book a flight from Miami to Medellin, wonder if there is a direct flight out of Chicago, a little closer to me but will check it out. thanks for all the info, trying to get there sometime in Dec. and then going back again in the summer, can't wait to see the country and all the people I have not seen in years.

chloe comments on Colombian Golden Moments.Post yours here.

Right after my son was born in Medellin, I needed to get milk from the tienda, at the time I did not speak Spanish but understood it, he kept asking me what I wanted and finally I broke down and cried because I had no idea what the word for milk was in Spanish, the old man sat down with me and I mooed like a cow and pointed to the baby, he gave me the milk and extra, only made me pay for the one bag of milk, I went to visit him everyday after that. Many more experiences also

chloe comments on RUV

thanks for the info, still waiting for passports, let mine expire and not sure when I'm getting it, maybe in 10 weeks or so, just figured I'd see how much the going rate for a ticket is, hopefully I will get to Medellin by Christmas

chloe comments on Adoption

There are good lawyers there, as I used one, I will try to find his name for you, should be simple since you will be there and the father is willing to do this, a little harder if in the us, I had to post a "find a person"listing and didn't get a response to moved on with things

yes, that is it, "La Cumbia" by Pastor Lopez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much, I try to sing this song in my car, people look at me funny since I am trying to sing in spanish, thanks so much, what a great song, brings back memories of my life in Medellin. Ok, one more song, this is even more fague, same time frame, it was about a little black girl, starts with "Mama, etc" something about why is the little black girl or boy looking at me? Not sure What does the first verse of the song "La cumbia" translate to in english, I should maybe know what i am trying to sing, thanks
