La Vida es un Carnaval
Im liking the comments.
So I´ve reached South America. Here´s a great big fucking middle finger to all you doubters who thought it would never happen.
Yesterday I flew to Bogota, and it is a really cool place. San Jose, Costa Rica, is like an American City, and in the same way, Bogota is like a European city. It is one of the most cultured places I´ve been in my trip, with gorgeous old european-style buildings and tons of pretty parks and tree-lined streets full of pedestrians. And the girls here are something else…
I´m staying in a hostel, and unlike the hostel in Panama, Ive managed to meet some friends who actually speak spanish. It is so much more fun that way… last night we spent an hour in a restaurant talking to these two cool, funny, drunk girls, laughing the entire time. They were accompanied by a George Clooney-lookalike, which made the whole situation a bit intimidating, but after several minutes nobody had inhibitions.
Today I went to buy some clothing, because I left my laundry bag in Panama. In one store, everyone wanted to talk to me, and I hung around for 45 minutes. We did a shorts exchange, and they gave me a free t-shirt with the store´s logo on the front. It was really random and fun, and now I´ve got over 20 friends in Bogota.
So I appologize for the length of this entry, but my hour on the internet is running out and I´m not willing to pay for an extra 15 minutes. Maybe I am jewish after all.
Peace
Dan

good thing too, cuz there may be some but something tells me jews (and us pseudo-jews) are dangerously under-represented in south america

Hey Dan, I’m sorry I haven’t been posting. I’ve been reading, though. Keep Reppin’ A-Town AND the Chosen People! Also, I’ll be in Cuautla, Mexico, from early May until Early June, and I assume you’re flying back from South America and not going back the way you came, but if you get the chance, you should stop by. Otherwise, I’ll be seeing you on the mean streets of A-town.
Peace, homie.

This is a landmark in your trip. I hope you realize how awesome it is that you’re actually in South America now! Who knows, someday we might all go back down there and start an uprising or something. Not much going on in A-town, except we’re getting ready for MAL in March. We’re Tunisia. Our claim to fame is that it’s where Star Wars is filmed… did you know there’s an actual city in Tunisia called Tataouine? How cool is that??
Hope you’re taking care down there. Miss y’all!!
*H.
P.S. I’m assuming you’ve seen La Tortura video… yeah that’s right, keeps you occupied!
