Lonely Planet

We've been preparing the trip for a couple of months already. We bought the Lonely Planet a few months ago in order to set everything up for the trip. There is only one city missing: Medellín. We still have to read a little more about it and decide what we want to do. The flower festival will be on when we'll be there.

July 20 !!!

One day before the Belgians, the Colombians celebrate their independance! For more information on the Colombian Independance Day, their anthem, their history,etc., click here.

Destination Colombia

It's been a couple of months that Paola's mom invited me to come to Colombia this summer. My parents are not necessarily happy with the idea, but I still think it's gonna be a lot of fun. It's my very first time in South America, and I have to start visiting the continent so it's obviously better if I start with a country where I know some people. So, I'm going with Paola, her mom and her sister to Medellín, Cartagena, San Andres, and Bogotá. I'll have the opportunity to meet with my 2004 EF roommate in Bogotá and my 2006 EF roommate in Medellín. I'm going to Juan Valdez's country for two weeks starting on August 2 and ending on August 16. Go visit this website to learn more about the country of coffee, emerald, mountains, beaches (and the least respected).
