Destination: Colombia

Monday, July 5, 2010 began like any other day for most people. However, for three teenagers it was the start of an adventure to the great country of Colombia. After the usual morning activities (don't ask me what they are...) the three world travelers proceeded to pack their 8 bags of luggage and drive to the Houston airport. They then drove around the airport. twice. before locating the the correct terminal.

Check-in was complete, goodbyes were said, shoes were taken off for security, and the plane was boarded--but not before one last American Jamba Juice.




The flight itself was rather uneventful and quite a bore, except for one thing... ;)



(no, not this. this is the lights of colombia) ;)

Once outside the airport in Colombia, a whole new world greeted them. Horns beeping, pedestrians everywhere, and people gibbering in what was supposedly Spanish, but spoken too fast for the three to comprehend.

Stepping into the penthouse--home for the next 6 weeks--they were amazed....




Fact: A dozen roses cost $4 in Colombia.
