BUD-WEIS-ER is here!

Ok, we just got in another import. A finely crafted import to compete with the Corona, Murphys, Heineken, and Guinness. Hahahahahahahah!! BUD-WEIS-ER As you can see the price of a 10 pk. is 19900.00 COP. about $11.00 USD in enchange, around $1.10 a can. This price is equal to Club Colombia, the beer that was voted best in the world 2 years ago. The "Budweiser" of beers here is called "Aguila", and it does come in a light version. Its regular price is around 8000.00 COP a 10pk., a little less than 50. a can.

OH! by the way Mountain Dew is going like gangbusters down here. I am crossing my fingers that I will see Dr. Pepper soon!

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.
