Bogotá?

I'm still waiting to go! Still have some administrative things to take care of: getting documents apostilled etc so hopefully by the end of the month I'll be there. I'm taking a short breather from the pen pics while I think about my next subjects.

We're off to the swimming pool today. I'm going to see if I can teach my hydrophobic wife to have confidence in the water. We're going with the kids because once again they are not at school. I have to say that the social services are a lot more relaxed here than in England. They didn't go to school all last week nor on Monday this week. The youngest, Juan Felipe didn't go to school at all during the last school year. I think back to the trouble I had because I took my kids on holiday for a week in June a couple of years ago and the difference is striking!

Well, it's nearly the weekend so I'll catch up on the season here and bring a little scoop of life in the Colombian League (sponsored by Postobón which is the biggest Colombian soft-drinks company). Our team is Juniors from Barranquilla, the nearest league team to Valledupar. One oddity is that the Colombians cheer every goal in a match, even goals scored against them! What the f*@k??!!??

Off to the pool it is then, chaaaaaaaaooooooooo
