observations from colombia

i left bogata for the mountains in the north and found another interesting food. its called bocadillo; unsalted cheese and a slice of congealed guayaba jelly. eaten together ¡que rico!



big colombian breakfast; sancocho de carne de res (made w ribs but be careful they dont cut the bone they shatter it so you get sharp bone fragments when chewing), scrambled eggs, cafe con leche, orange juice, arepa (corn cake), pan.

roadside pizza stand

or maybe some roadside dental surgery which can be viewed by any passerby


when asked where im from i usually answer "north carolina, like michael jordan" this worked for a long time. but guess what, fellow 80´s babies... young kids dont know MICHAEL freakin JORDAN anymore. maybe ill say jesse helms or nascar legend kyle petty or randy travis or the guy from last comic standing or muggsy bogues. anyway jordans memory still lives on in this gymnasium in some town in rural colombia.

i took a day trip to a colonial town called barichara famous for eating hormigas culonas, literally bigass ants, unfortunately they were out of season. so i settled for a hike and a photo of a church.

camino real between barichara and guane


then i hiked to a waterfall near the town of san gil. and there were people rappelling down the face. can youuu find the humans?


guess what a 12 hour bus ride costs? 15$. guess what a 4oz tube of sunscreen costs? 8$. note to self, bring sunscreen next time.


this next section is entitled ¨sorry about that world: dumb shit americans have exported¨

the ghettos on blast


comidas rapidas: yake. when pronounced with spanish accent you get...
- fast food yankee.


finally colombia´s got talent. ive watched in amazement as whole towns shut down for this awful show including heinous singing and juggling acts.
