I woke up on Saturday morning early in order to go to the gym. I went there walking as usual and i went to the spinning class. After that i did power forcing class, it was really nice one!

I then came back home walking. I wanted to check if Luis German decided to got to Colombia, his dad is unfortunately in hospital. I arrived home and i found out that he was still in bed. He was finally not travelling. We stayed home a bit and he then dropped me to New port beach resort, my Olympia gym was organizing a party there. I arrived there it was crowded, full of customers so i decided to come back home and go to the pool instead. The taxi dropped me and i left my bag at the main pool. I then went home to get something to eat, t stopped at the other pool in order to see what was going on there. I then saw Harvey, my friend the one who is around 70 years old.

We started talking and i said that i left my bag atthe other pool, he shouted to me like my dad, he started to scare me i had my 2 mobile phone in the bag, i then said i would get the bag back. But before going there, Harvey told me: you want to know what s new? well i won the lottery this week!!! what? that s crazy!

Well he explaines to me the story. He is playing lotery everyday and last week he went to check if he won, they told him that he won 600 USD. He was happy buthe did not go immediately to the lotery bureau because it s quite far. 3 days leter, on Wed he was talking to his friend here near the pool and he explain the story to him. He said that he was lazy to go to this bureau, and then his friend looked on the internet the result of the lotery, he then saw that there was only 1 winner and the winner was in Florida, he said the numbers and the numbers were the same as Harvey s!!!! total amount 200 000 USD my god, he was so happy. They went then together to the bureau to get the money. total is 135 000 USD as the gvt is taking 30% of tax.

He said that he has given 10 000 USD to his daughter 1000 to his grand sons. They all live in NY city. I was so happy for him,i congratulated him many times….

We then talked about many other things, he is quite a businessman retired, but very nice to get his adviced for my new lifeand business.

Later i then went to the other pool and the came back home. I wanted to go to Aventura mall to buy a new camera as i dropped mine in the sea. I m not willing to buy one but i have no choice, my old canon can t be repared either….

I ended up in the mall but i have not bought the camera because the black one i want is out of stock unfortunately. I came back home and got ready. Juan Pablo (Andres Uribe s friend) was planning to pick me up at 9.30pm to go for diner and drinks.

At 10pm JuanPablo arrived and we went to his house, he had to get dressed. He has a very nice BMW convertible it was so nice to drive at night. We then went to Loncoln road to a very nice Italian restaurant, we eat fish and risotto and mussels and of course TIRAMISU! The food was fantastic, we had nice talk then at 2am we went to Macondo,one of the bestsalsa bar in Miami, we danced so much until 5am, we then came back home. I slept at his place as it is more convenient, Aventura is quite far. We also planned to go and see the world cup game on sunday. After sleeping a couple of hours, we woke up and gotready to go to the game. We wentto a bar close to his house in Brickle Miami, there were so many people and the ambiance was great. We got some drinks and 2 empanadas, it was the only easy thing to it, as we were standing…. we also started making friends around us, it was very nice, and everybody was dancing. Juan pablo was drunk and me i have not drunk that much, but i danced soooo much. I had no camera but some of my new friends will send me the pictures. At 5 pm we came back home i was dead so we both fell asleep. At 6pm i woke him up saying that i wnated to go home and he had to bring me back. He was so dead it was so difficult to wake him up, finally we left. After leaving he asked me if i was hungry, we had not aten anything all day so i was starvingof course. We went to La moon a colombian restaurant, it was so nice to eat! I thing he also needed it very much as he had drunk quite a lot. During the meal i talked about Nikki Beach parties on Sunday and he asked me if i wanted to go, i said of course! We then went there, everybody told me sooo much about Nikki beach. We arrived there and it was quite full, inside outside, on the stage, on the beds. There was a lot of music and everybody was dancing; we made a tour and walked around, danced a bit and then went home. On the way back home, he suddenly stopped at Creamy Donuts, they say they are the best donuts in town! he said we would buy some for us. I was wondering which one i wnated, he then said we ll take a dozen and try one of each!  We ate 2 of them in the car and i brought the resthome. I even offered some to our reception and the securityguy!

Today i woke up around 11am, the phone was ringing again and again…..

Aujourd hui je me suis levee a 11h, le tel n arretait pas de sonner…..

I was quite tired because i went to sleep at 7h30am so i have not slept so much! Luis was sleeping like a baby, of course, he was so drunk last night! I ended up answering his phone and it was his work, he was supposed to be there at 12 but it was already 12h30

J etais assez fatiguee car je me suis couchee a 7h du mat, jen ai pas bc

I thought he was starting at 2pm so i was not thinking he was late. He got ready and went  to work, i just had time to ask for his cousin s number in order to go to the boat tour today. I called his cousin and they picked me up at 2pm. His daughter Caroline and Sergio her boyfriend picked me up and we joined her family at the port.

It was like on TV, so many boat for everybody, and the weather was perfect. They were organizing this trip to celebrate father s day.

Caro, sergio, her dad, and an other cousin and his wife and 2 children, they are colombian and now living in Miami for 10 years. A truck arrived in order to bringthe boat in the water, ha i forgot we also stopped at the supermarket earlier in order to buy food for lunch. We all came in and went for a ride, it was sooo nice, we went to Miami downtown and came back to an area where all boats stops and everybody jump in the water and dance with music. I took many pics you ll see. I ve never seen a  place like that in the world, the water is shallow so you can stand with drinks in the water. The ambiance is very nice. You even have a boat with food going a around, the 2 selles are dancing like crawy in order to atract customers. It was a very nice day with very nice people. They all told me that life in Miami is great and much better than in colombia, they really want me to move over here!!!

At 6 pm we then came back to the port and then i came back home.  I went around the pool in order to relax a bit, i m now home writing to you. I m waiting for Luis then we probably go to Los Callos, at 1h from Miami to see his cousin there

20 Jun 2010 Strange partyyyy
 |  Category: Uncategorized  | One Comment

I started my day being a little sad. It s the first day since my trip that i was feeling a little lonely. I wanted to be with family or friends. The pb is that i m dependent of my friend Luis here and it s not easy i m not used to that. We were suposed to go to southbeach but we woke up late and he also had to go to work at 2h30. I then told him i ll go to the pool. I also called my super firend Florie in order to cheer me up…

I went downstairs to the pool and ran into Harvey, my new friend in the counpound, he is 70 years old. He said hi and introduced me to 2 other persons living here. We talked for a bit and i then went in the pool and do suntanning. After a few hours i went to the other pool hehe, to see if i could make some new friends, I have not really talked to anybody and at 4h30 i went to the gym. I m so happyabout this membership. I was walking with my sports clothes, i crossed the road and a guy in a car said to me: nice legs! i smiled and said thank you! I continued walking and i found out that the guy was parked and waiting for me. He introcuded himself, he is Joseph from Alabama, He wanted me to go for drink some time, let s see…! he said you are beautiful bla bla bla…. like all of them. He proposed to me to bring me to the gym, i accepted and we continued talking.

At the gym i went for spinning class, itwas a very very nice one! I was so surprised, the instructor is not even going up on the bike, he is only talking, dancing and explaining what to do, that s quite funny. I remember he said: if you enjoy you come back,if you come back you have results, if you have results you are happy, if you are happy i m happy! that s true! After that we did 30 min abs, it was so painful because i already trained a lot the day before. I also did some weights afterwards. I then walked back home and got readyto go out.

I have to wait a long time anyway as Luis was coming at 10pm for work. I really wanted to go outttt!!!

He arrived and then we discussed about where to go, Cucaramango is finally closed so we can t dance salsa there, the a friend of him Gerarlo was at a house party, we tried to call me when he never answered. I said i wanted to meet people so he called a neighbours, she then arrived at the apt, it was alreday late, like 1am. We tlked again and again, i really wanted to move!!! and the rain started, shit! so we finallyleftand went to SPICES in Hollywood. It was very nice we dance salsa a lot, loved it! the singer was so cute by the way!

At 4am, we left with 2 other guys that we have met there and went to Scarlets, they said it s a strip club, i followed everybody and was a bit shocked. All those women naked and dancing, it was a little weird and i would have lot to be a little drunk rather that sober…. We had a good time there but after 2 hours of electro music i wanted to go home, Paula the neighbour really liked the music so we stayed a little bit, after 1h i  started getting handry and asked to go home!!! i m not patient anymore!!! they were both drunk and did not want to leave before finishing the bottle, i insited and we left.

We arrived a the car and luis did not want to drive because he was drunk, so Paula decided to drive, she was so drunk as well. and luis was happy becasue he prefer her to be caught than him, stupid way of thinking…!

I told them i would take the taxi, and i did it! i paid 20 dollars but arrived safe! the also arrived safe but we never know…i then went to bed!

Hi,

The weather was perfect, no clouds and it was very warm. We had some sun and we ate, we also met some other very nice colombian people. Apparently they are very important people in colombia. We talked a lot and i have the number of their daughter in order to go out with her this week.  They were really amazed about my trip above all when i say that i have no plan at all!

I m now at home waiting for curtis, the friend of Hector, we will go out for a drink/ Last night he could not go out with us as the club required shirt, no T shirt

Hi everybody!

Today is Monday June 7th, i m just back in Bogota after a very nice week end in Melgar.

I went out with my friend Harold on Friday night and i met Javier. Javier told me that he was going to Melgar for 3 days (Monday is holiday here) and i asked if i could join him and his friends. He said i could join so on saturdayafternoon we took a bus and went there. After 3 hours we arrived Melgar. We joined his friends over there:

Javier is a doctor in Bogota and he is 32 years old,

Teresa is a very beautiful girl, she has just finished her studies in international trade and she will now made a specialisation from July,  her boyfriend Juan

Felipe is Industrial engineer and Monica his girlfriend is workingfor Familia, in the sales dept through institutions

Diana is from Armenia, she is a doctor as well

Fernando is a marketing manager for a university, his girlfriend is Cata, she is working in the custome dept of a multinational company

On Saturday night when we arrived i started to meet all of them. The House is very nice, 5 room and with swimming pool. This village is very close to Penon, where i was with Jimmy 3 weeks ago. It s an area with many houses, everybody goes there on the week end because the weather is very warm and it s in the countryside near the mountain. The rent is quite cheap, 10 euros pero person per day. There is also an emplyee to clean and cook the food so it s really convenient!

We went out in the evening to a club called Roca, 3 floors, outside area even with jacuzzi where people are getting in dressed. The music was very nice, they call it cross over, latino and also many other kind of music.

At around 2 am we left and went to  eat in the same street. Wehad a very nice evening.

On Sunday, i woke up with the music, the tradition here is to listen to music very loud in the house, everybody is doing it and nobody complains for the noise, lucky them! I went downstairs and we all had breakfast.

We then stayed around the pool all day, chilling out and discussing all together. We made a BBQ and went in the pool. At night we made a little party outside of the house, with music and dancing of course, mainly latino dance and ballerato. We took a lot of pictures you ll see they are funny. The saying of the day was “epa larepa” don t ask me why i don t know! and also “Tash tash Tash”! we were all saying that all the time

On Monday morning, today, I woke up again with the music. we had breakfast and stayed around the pool. We laughed so much thankd to Fernando and Javier. You ll see the movies i made and understand. Fernando even nearly drown in the pool, fortunately our Mitch (our Javier) rescued him hehe. Fernando was a little drunk.

In the afternoon we all came back to Bogota and i m now home!

Talk to you tomorrow for the rest!

June 1, 2010

I woke up even earlier, at 6.15am as Freddy was going to Medellin for a meeting at 8

I had a nice breakfast; eggs and bread and hot chocolate, the driver arrived and we left. We dropped Freddy and I went to airport to buy a ticket, unfortunately all ticket leaving from Medellin downtown were sold out. I then dropped me to Explora, a center similar to La Cite des science. I found the idea a bit stupid but I went. There was an aquarium, it s quite boring when you look alone but the guides explained everything about fishes to me, so it was very interesting.

After that I went to a room to learn about science, the same I was alone in the room so the guide explained everything to me. How the bee look, only 2 colors, how the mouche look, same thing many times like cristal, and many other interesting things like teste my ears and my view.

After then I met Diablo, the friend of Camilo, a friend with whom I went to aerosmithconcert
