New American Import

New American imports are coming fast and furious. OK, last month we Budweiser. Now, something I never thought I would see here. Take a look! I know its a little dark, because I wanted to be artsy and show off my view of Ritoque, in the background (That is where the para-gliders take off). Yes, its Mountain Dew!!

New Playground slides

Check out these pictures for our new K-5 playground. Nice huh! But, look closely!

OK, so the school spend a crap load of money for these new playgrounds for the K-5 and  Elementary. First, they built the elementary playground (a Pirate Ship). I don't have pictures, but the slide ended 2 feet from the concrete security wall. So, they took it all the way apart and rebuilt it. You think they would have learned. But here are pictures of the K-5 (The Castle). Yes, the slides go right into the concrete blocked wall around the playground. No injuries are going happen here, right. You think they would have learned from the 1st fiasco.  Go figure!! They finely figured it and rebuilt it, see next time what they did.

In Bogota, took the train to Zipaquira
