Total Bien in Colombia. CHIMBAAA

Carnivale 2011!



These young girls made my trip! The first stop off the plane in Bogota was here, where we delivered some spanish books! We played games like rock paper scissors, down by the bay, braided eachothers hair all with little to no verbal actions.



BOOKS!



They've got mad skills. Impressive



Hair time! I bet Michelle is happy I didn't post a picture of her hair.

By far my favorite picture from the trip. This front desk killed me every time. The little boy speaks english, so we reffered to him as "the 9 year old manager." Jose, was his name and he was always reading "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" in english. So, my corny side came out and I called him a wimpy kid at every chance possible.
