Well, the offices in Ibague and Chaparral are closed, and there is a gigantic pile of stuff at the main office in Bogota. I´ve got a couple of days of admin work left but that is about it.
Thanks to my Mom, I managed to apply for a new passport in Bogota on Wednesday. I need it for my next project in Thailand! See http://doctorswithoutborders.org/thailand for more info on the project – I will be at the Petchabun project near the Laotian border. It is much larger than this project with about 85 workers in total. Should be interesting.
In the meantime I have about 2 weeks to kill – what a shame! I´m going to shoot for visiting Ciudad Perdida, Cartagena and San Andreas.
The time here in Colombia has been very interesting and a great experience. I hope I can continue practicing Spanish since I´ve got a good start going – but I said that last time I came back from South America too…. Plus, I´m gonna have to brush up on my Thai even though most everyone, apparently, speaks English in Thailand.
I put some pics out at: http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLanding.action?c=56h73xft.b0suzka1&x=0&y=8ejaz&localeid=en_US .
The plan now is to be here until my passport shows, about the 24th of March, fly to NYC for a couple of days to get a work visa and then off to Thailand. We´ll see how it works out…
Take care and I´ll post again when the schedule is confirmed and I have some pics of my vacation!!
Ciao,

looks from pics that you got a little culture, glad to see it wasn’t all paperwork and warm beer. hopefully you are out roaming the jungle and/or beaches of region. Sounds like your next mission, in the land of suckie fuckie, should be a little more chaotic – but that is part of the adventure.
buen viaje mi hermano
