On my way back home =)
August 1st, 2007People of the world!
I´ve been out of Colombia for almost 3 years now. I´ve been studying in Germany, working in Spain and traveling the world. Tonight is the last night of this beautiful time. This time has being amazing and it flew so fast that I can still remember leaving my home. I will never forget this and the memories will be in my herat and soul for my whole life.
Tomorrow I´ll fly to Bogota where I´ll see all my friends and family, I´m very happy but also a bit melancholic. I will of course post about the end of my trip, my boat ride on the Amazon for two nights and the last days inside the jungle. Stay tuned, this won´t end here, thre´s always a place to stroll…
All my love

It was never found by the Spanish, thank God, and it was abandoned around the 1500 A.D.. When it was rediscovered in 1911 it was covered and hidden in the jungle. Read the rest of this entry »
