Mi Casa de TAQA dinero

If you are reading this, I am already dead. Feck wrong blog.


This is Casa De TAQA Dinero. 3 bedroom 3.5 bathrooms  with the .5 bathroom called a social bathroom in Colombia. Kind of makes it sound like you all go in there to do your business together. Well I guess I will wait until Jack gets there. There is another bedroom exactly like Jack's bedroom but I didn't see any sense in publishing pictures of it.

This place is walking distance to three big and modern shopping centers, lots of restaurants, bars and coffee shops. And Parque Llerras which is the main hub of restaurants, bars, coffee shops and grand place to buy weed. Actually, I don't think that is true and I would't know. And when I say walking distance to Parque Llerras that is assuming you don't mind walking 30 minutes.

Holly Feck, I just saw an attempted armed robbery. We are in a taxi and two motor bikes pulled up to the car right beside us and were yelling like mad and then pulled out a hand gun. The only gun that I can recognized is a glock but let’s call it a 9 Mary Mary. He fired a warning shot into the air and the other was pointed into the guys car. 

We were trying to stare strait a head but I was straining to use my peripheral vision. The taxi driver was very cool and the lights tuned and the motor bikes sped away. 

Happened in about 30 seconds but it was kind of scary. For them that is knowing the damage that I can do. 

Good thing in these situations I turn into Dirty Harry

The fisherman of the Colombian coast must be learned doctors of ethics and morality, for they invented the word sentipensante, or ‘feeling-thinking' to define language that speaks the truth

Colombia

July 2016

I can’t remember the last time I flew on British Airways. Not as  good as I thought it would or should be given it prices but ok. The business class seats have a weird configuration with one forward and one back so until they put up the divider you are staring straight at the person beside you. Thankfully, I never travel without my Groucho Marx glasses. And the booking system was down so it was a two hour check in and that was getting some people – ok, I don’t know where to find the brackets on this Spanish keyboard so you are missing out on something special.

American Airlines from London to Miami was a pleasant surprise. I envisioned them as the hostels of airlines and expected to see a lot of stray pubic hair but it pretty good. Nice seat with decent amenities, nice lounge, good service and that is my fecking reviews of airlines. I am at the point now as long as ISIS doesn’t blow the fecking things up I am happy. And I guess if ISIS did blow the fecking things up I would be blogging about it.
Nice to back to Colombia for three weeks. Not as busy this hitch but a few non sexy things to do.

Check out this Dude.

This was on the way from the airport. At one point we measured his speed and it was 80 km/h. And as he would go around a steep curve he would lean in like a snow boarder and touch the ground as he went. Crazy but fun to watch.



Nice to be back in Medellin. The City of Eternal Spring. My place is starting to look like I actually own it and with some more plants and pictures I am good to go. We went to Cartagena which I think is Spanish for fecking hot. The old city was great but crowded with tourists and to me had a New Orleans vibe to it but you can see its sense of history. We stayed on the beach and did a couple of trips into the center. There was a  ceviche restaurant that I wanted to check out. It had an amazing amount of ceviche dishes and it was great.
You can see the Spanish influence for sure but I didn’t see any big ass dead pigs hanging from the raptors. The beaches are nice but after 8 years in Nicaragua I am can an uppity little prick when it comes to what I think of them but still nice.
2 more weeks in Medellin and I should have my place 100 percent complete in the next few days.
