Impressions of a nice girl who visited Colombia

She learned the rule "Not to give Papaya"
and explains it well.


It's been 36 days since I left Colombia. Sometimes I feel like I never left. Because Colombia hasn't left me; the experience lives with me, and I continue to be enriched and inspired by it. It's difficult not to be moved by a country as intriguing and endearing as Colombia, with it's warm people, enchanting culture, dramatic beauty and mind-boggling biodiversity.

The memories linger on with an almost dream-like quality. I still struggle to assimilate and recapture it all, it's all so overwhelming. I try to write something, but coherance eludes me, and it comes out like it is in my head. Fleeting Images. Like flashes. Necessitating Spanish and a temporary junking of the sentence as we know it. Here goes. (Warning: Low Readability)

Interesting I skimmed the post quickly and did not see a mention of Barranquilla/B/Quilla or La curramba, although it appears she had one hell of a trip. If she did in fact go to Barranquilla and did not go to La Troja, the girl has unfinished business in Colombia.

I think that she lived in Bogota for a year after arriving there in April of 2005 - see the archives. I remember when someone here (webmanco?) first posted the blog link to PBH and I was interested to read it. Makes me regret not having stuck it through with Aisec when I was in uni.

....That's whole year's worth of Colombia blogging and observations.
