Aw i´m in an internet cafe and i left my camera back in the wee house otherwise i could treat you to some nice pictures of the things i´ve eaten over the past few days, most delightful of all being the unwashed pig intestines which are horribly crunchy on the outside but spurt the pig´s half-digested last meal out into your mouth as you bit down on them. Mmm. I went to a Colombian food fair in a park which was a benefit gig for the police service, and they had the national police band up on a massive stage playing pure amazing music, all salsa and rancheras and mopey love song duets. Imagine the Glasgow police band and how garbage they´d be!
Today i saw a horse pulling a cart which was loaded up with chintzy sofas, all with several people sitting on them arguing loudly and enthusiastically, and the whole entourage was navigating a massively congested motorway junction.
In other delightful Bogota activities this Saturday afternoon i ended up in a the courtyard of an ancient house in La Candelaria which had been turned into a pure bangin´pub where all the students were up dancing and tanning aguardiente at 2.30 in the afternoon, AND they played that timeless classic "Culo"! I´m so glad i came here. Fried pig intestines, police vallenato bands and loads of cheap coffee, i think this may be the best country in the world.

Man that sounds amazing especially witnessing people arguing on a sofa whilst in a moving vehicle, I really want to come and visit you! Things are all rinky dinky here, apart from you're not here of course, :(
I have a skype mobile phone so I'll try to figure out how to use it and try to give you a buzz. I wait with baited breath for your next installment, and I hope it includes a sofa tale!
XXXXX
