And not a moment too soon! Not that it's been terrible here, but really there is only so much a good ol' red, white, and blue American, such as myself, can take here.
Next stop Colombia, which after these last two months has become a land where all my dreams will come true: high-speed internet, drip coffee, clear and easy to understand Spanish, Coke (no, not the white stuff, the real stuff, the good stuff, because that just does not exist here.), delicious food, and a whole lot more.
Colombia, la tierra de oportunidad, aqui vengo!

been a while...
I can't believe that I have not been able to put anything up here in the last month and a half. Most of you probably know why, and for those of you who don't you won't be getting any information out of me.
Since I can't write much (even though I have a ton to say) I will keep this very brief.
I'm having the time of my life. I've never been in a city I love as much as this one.
While most of you are probably imagining me in a tropical paradise right now the truth is that it has been fucking freezing here. Both Natalie and I wore our long underwear to bed the other night.
Spanish is a hell of a great language, but here it has been bastardized beyond recognition. I am anxiously awaiting a new country with a clearer dialect.
The food sucks. No way around it. This is the first time I have ever been anywhere where I didn't feel excited to eat the next delicious meal. Instead, I find myself dreading meal time.
Soccer is a fun sport. It is even more fun when played in an olympic swimming pool that has been drained of water.
Well, that's all for now. I look forward to writing at least one or two very long posts when I leave here in three weeks.
Ciao,
Augusto
