A little bit of Colombia flavor

 
Colombia is hard to describe, vast country, contrasting, full of life, music and spirit.
People, geography, infrastructure, they all combine to form the exact match between development and latin style.

Not only women are beautiful because of God's nature and the amazing work of silycone... colombian men I encountered used to say "there are not ugly women in colombia, just poor parents". It would make everyone laugh and be proud of their "belongings".

I was 5 days in Colombia, 3 spent in a city called Barranquilla, famous for its carnival and the easyness of its people, and 2 days in Cartagena, a pearl in the Caribbean.
The great thing about this trip is that I was going to actually be around colombians, not as a tourist, but as a guest. My boyfriend and I had been invited to a traditional colombian wedding.



Food, drinks, dancing on the streets to the rythm of "ballenato", at 4 am in the morning - and not a single neighbor complaining - music, music, more music... cumbia, salsa, youth everywhere, arepas, 60 year old "aunts" coming to the pub and the disco to hang around with the youth... too much tequila, too much whisky... enough aguardiente...

Colombia... burst of flavor in every bite. Eat wisely.
