Whew. That is long. I have an ungodly fast connection at the office and it still takes a while. I did just notice that a few people I'm related to are actually on that page.

Thank you all. It may have been my post, but several people contributed to it (especially, MaFe) and they deserve praise as well. For my part, I LOVE Colombia and it was a pleasure to compile the images to share with you all. I have considered doing a part two, but I was hoping to get in touch with MaFe first...Anyone hear from her? She's got me worried!

tejas: soy un hombre!!! jajaja. Mi nombre no es LaCacique!!! Pensé que somos amigos...jajaja...

I agree with Peter, "More photos and memorabilia from Colombia's past" the longest post!
I would add it's a very interesting post as well.
Thank you MaFe and Lcacique.

dwmte7: It took a loooooooooonnnnnnggggg time...several days. For my part, I spend a lot of time researching Colombia's history as a pastime as well as for my scholastic endeavors; therefore, it was just a little extra work to post the photos here on pbh. MaFe spent a lot of time posting into the early hours of the morning despite the fact that she works...she was a real trooper! Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

years ago, cacique, i bought a pack of old postcards (reprinted) somewhere in downtown medallo. most were of old buildings in downtown, prado, and the train station. they remind me of countless of the photos posted in your thread.

again, thanks for your time, dedication and labors.

Very late on posting my comments...but LC you made the post happen and I was touched to see how passionate you were in regards to Colombia and it's history. When you have time, I would like to some how make it better for other's to enjoy. I know it takes awhile to load, but it's worth taking a few minutes too look at people. I learned so much about Colombia, and there is still so much missing on that post...Bueno...very good work to LC and everyone else who contributed...and to all who took the time to look...thanks...remember always que Colombia es muy bella...y llena de vida!!

Also dwmte7, it did take a long time. I tried to resize all the pictures so it wouldn't take as long to load the page, and finding the info took time...it was all worth it...
