Well, what do ya know, I missed two cents Tuesday again. Its early Wednesday morning and I'm sitting on a call I never talk on, looking out the open porch door at our array of potted plants (it rained last night so it's chillier than usual today), drinking coffee with milk for the first time in 6 months. Black is better.
I keep forgetting to post because of two reasons: 1) work, and 2) Remote Year is now real life. As much as I feel like I'm on a constant vacation, I'm not, and I'm working, and I'm sleeping, and I'm being lazy some nights
After a weekend celebrating Carnaval and a short vacay in Cartagena, we arrived safely in MedellÃn (dear Mom: It's not spelled 'Medinne'). I skipped a week of writing because, well, you'll see when I post pics.
Bogotá has flown by but I'm surprisingly glad to spend another month in Colombia. Next on the itinerary is Barranquilla for Carnaval and then a week in the beach town of Cartagena.
This past week (my last full week here) has certainly influenced how I feel about Bogotá. In Mexico I did a ton of activities that got me out of the house and deep into Mexican life and culture. Of course, my getting sick did hinder my desire to explore towards the beginning of this month, but I recovered it after this weekend.
I'm a day late with my two cents, lo siento. I got busy doing actual activities yesterday since I was sick AGAIN over the weekend. Still unsure of the culprit. Altitude? Food?
I'm 2 for 2 for getting sick during the first week of each new city. Had quite a reaction to the altitude (severe fatigue and just not feeling myself), then enter sketchy empanada and chugging pepto bismol all night long like it was the elixir of life.
