Wow – I made Google News?? That’s awesome!
Glad you enjoyed this article, Mike. I thought it was an entertaining way to show some insight into Colombian culture. Then again, I’m a little biased 😉

Unbelievable. I’m not sure if this came up in my Google news because we were in Cuenca Ecuador from mid-September through mid-December or because we are friends. Normally I am looking at issues around the world and this charming post with letters from my friend’s father included popped up. It was thoroughly enjoyable. Glad Google brought it to my attention and I hope you are doing well young lady!

I enjoyed your article, however since I am from Colombia the food and its deliciousness was no news to me. Your Dad’s letters are so funny and cool. More than the food comments, is refreshing when people take the time to get to know is as people and not just what’s more obvious. Keep going

Hi Virginia,
Yes, my Dad’s emails to me regularly make me laugh out loud. 🙂
What sorts of challenges did you find?

Fabulous experience you had, your dad is funny 🙂 I just left Colombia. I loved it but I did find it a bit challenging.

In reply to Frank.

Hey Frank,
Interesting observation! I believe I saw more soldiers on the street in Panama (specifically Panama city). I’ve never been to Brazil, but I’ve heard good things generally; I’m sorry your trip didn’t end up being so good.

In reply to The Brinkmanns | Brink of the World. We've been to Colombia twice and have always felt safe. Nowhere have I been to a place that has as many soldiers on the street as Colombia. Compare that to Brazil, the darling of travellers, where we were always looking over our shoulder. You hear never ending stories of things happening to travellers going to Brazil but it somehow doesn't stick. People still go (Brazil was our worst trip ever). Frank (bbqboy)
