No official winner of the election yet so I'll have to wait for that one. I spent the first part of the day with Cecy in town today. The weather, no surprise, is scorchio. No problem however because I bought myself a sombrero vueltiao and because I have the video on this site I can even fold it to fit in my pocket.
I had my first beer today, an Aquila - actually two, one light and one normal. I decided to show admirable control and drink very slowly only to raise eyebrows of everyone else in the room, the custom here being to finish a bottle in two swigs......even the women. I'm still loving every minute.
Walking around town it was nice to see the freedom the Colombians have to be proud of their country without offending any visitors of other nationalities. If you are offended by Colombian pride then you are probable best advised to stay away, especially since I have been told that most men here have guns. I really enjoyed actually getting to la plaza de Alfonso Lopez and to see el momumento de la revolución en marcha.
