breakfast of deep fried snook (robalo) beans and rice and the ever present, bland salad/garnish and a bowl of sancocho (beef and potato soup)
i took a bus to the locals beach of bahia concho on a sun (bad idea) it was crowded and there were santa ana-esque winds that sandblasted your face at 40mph
i did see a big stick bug!!!
i went to the mall in santa marta alone on sat bc i'm a creepy guy and that's what creepers do with their free time in other countries. i'm sitting in the packed food court eating a 7$ chicken shawarma and a 3$ cherry smoothie, as a kid's-sized train (a la santa land) sadly chugs by filled w happy colombian children. the stores are named things like tennis and offcorss (of course or maybe more appropriately off course), happy time, planet sexy, I just saw a shirt "big scratchy smurf button" i'm sadly reminded that I'm not in america unfortunately. this is the new face of the world.
it thoroughly depresses me to see the world has swallowed the american lifestyle model so voraciously. of course they do it their own way ie i see large familys sitting down together. but it scares me to think that 1.6 billion chinese have this in mind as the glorious path to success. ive had the discussion in the hostals about how bad america is and the evils we bring but guess what fellow developed world citizens you are swallowing it too. exposure to american marketing schemes play to our most repetilian desires `ooo food, bright lights, tribal band tattoos, boobs!!!`
oh no a fat person, motorized shopping buggie and barbed wire tattoo... the apocalypse is upon us!!!!
notice the `mc dini` in the background: mcdonalds and dennys illegitimate colombian love child
the sign says `now is ou time` the levis budget is getting short
tennis, of course or off-course tennis or cross tennis off 
my lair, sad
