Review of the Johnny2009 Hostel-Massage Parlour-Soup Kitchen

Well,

I arrived in Bogota at Johnny2009s chicken shack about 10 pm on a Wedsday night.

Although, a bit small the place it self was spotless and even had an accordion on display on a coffee table.

Johnny was quick to hand me a cold beer, serve me his fresh baked rolls and english cheddar. He then gave me a little tour of his neighborhood.

He also makes one hell of a Bloody Mary.

All in all I give in a 9 out of ten stars. No buggering was attempted because I think I am little too old for his sweet tooth.

9 stars because sofa bed was worse then he said it was.

On a serious not. I had a great time with that limey git. Very hosbitable and class act.

For all you nay sayers saying that PBH should not be about people meeting, I think you should really reflect on that comment.

I would not have a nice place to stay or a good time in my layover in Bogota if it would not for PBH.

It is amazing once you leave Bogota and get into paisa country. In Bogie you see a really pretty girl every other day, but in el eje there is one every three feet.

Dejo los besos a tierra pa cuando vendras, pero me encargo a besar las paisas por ti.

I'll be in Medallo a short time, on a short leash. But I would love to cash in on the offer for free beer. Jajaja I think I can get Huskie to come, maybe MES, Gloid if he is in town, and a slim chance of Sr. Elmodefoque. Davidslc46 should be around too.

RJ,

I know it would be like inviting Andy Dick to a house party.

The beer would be at an inferior temp and he would offer to pay only for half of his share.

It is all about attention to detail Bill, if FlatLine is visiting, you need to leave an upturned bucket in the shower so he can reach the shampoo.

Then again you should also remember that he has no hair

Glad to hear tha Flats is OK. Ans that all went well for him. I visited Manizales last year and as I live in Albany, NY when I start traveling north more than I travel south, I'll leave the cold in Albany and in Manizales.

But Flats, we'll be looking out for you in Santa Marta. We''ll even get you some sunscreen for the dome.

Live simply... Love generously... Care deeply... Speak kindly...
