best. puente. ever.

like for real. i helped plan an AWESOME trainee weekend with hoyitos and tati botero from my lc here, and though it became beyond stressful towards the end (aka we didnt have housing for ANYONE until 10 minutes before the first one arrived...i guess thats the colombian way though?) it was COMPLETELY worth it. ill add pictures later once i figure out how to do it, but lets just say by the end of the weekend we were planning an alumni association for colombia trainees 08-09 where we would purchase a finca near la piedra de peñol and meet there at least biannually when we were all rollin' in the dough.

ill write a longer post on this later when im not supposed to be working, but to give a bite-sized snack, the weekend consisted of the following:
jardin botanico
parque poblado complete with THE BEST arepas con hogao ive had thus far
befriending my first colombian bartender, to which i will become a regular
CHIVA
alumbradas del rio
teleferico
crepes and waffles
parque lleras, which included cocaina rusas from la octava (duh!)
muchoooooo dancing complete with vallenato for the crazy german who is leaving us :(
piedra de peñol
arepa de choclo con queso that was deliciosooooooo
boat tour of lake in guatape
falling in love with medellin and antioquia all over again
