Barranquilla to Taganga: Pressured. Aug 1. Girls drive me crazy… It is because they are nuts. I just feel like they are totally irrational…all of the time. Marc, Knut and I went for lunch in a place in Barranquilla where there were chickens walking running though our legs. I like a fun restaurant like that. I caught a chicken and hypnotized it for them. That entertains people. We wanted to get from Barranquilla to Taganga, so we packed up at...
I wish I could say that we were inside of a pristine shiny and sterile cocaine lab that I had pictured in my mind with people wearing baby-blue uniforms similar to what a nurse would have on with dust masks over their faces while machines made noises in the background. But it was nothing like that. It was way dirtier. We were taken to someone’s house.
Medellin: The Cost of a Regular Gig. July 23. Last night as I got back to the hostel I checked my messages. There were seven of them, one of them from Lucia who told me she was in Medellin. Whoa! Shocker. I was not prepared for that! Is it dangerous that a beautiful Colombian woman stalked me to Medellin? I am not sure. She told me she had business here but I have yet to see any transactions take place. ...
Pablo Escobar Tour – 22 July 2014, The tour bus picked me up from my hostel. I was on the afternoon Pablo Escobar Tour because the morning tour was full, but there were only three of us this morning. That would allow me a lot of room to ask a lot of questions! I am a tour guide’s dream for a while. But then he tires of having to answer so many questions, many of which he has never had to...
Popayán: My Crazy Sex Life. July 3. I have found the source. You know that ideology you have in your head about beautiful Latin-American women and you have a vague idea of where they are from but you can not pin-point the place? Well, it turns out that place is Colombia. It is crazy out there. The skinny ones are pretty. The chubby ones are pretty. If you like shopping, Colombia is two weeks before Christmas. Welcome to my crazy...
June 6. Party Boy Wakes Up. I had a late start, but after a swim in the ocean a girl began walking towards me and she was walking towards me with that walk where you know that the person is going to approach you. I stood still as she walked my way until she took off her glasses and I recognized her as Angelique from Germany who held the flashlight in Sucre while the English girl peed in the middle...
La Paz: Route 36 Cocaine Bar. May 24. I hit the free city walking tour of La Paz and it was awesome. – We started in front of minimum security San Pedro Prison, most famous for its place in the book ‘Marching Powder.’ There are only 15 guards at a time for 2,500 inmates, and the guards do not even enter the prison. The prison is totally policed by the inmates who establish rules and a hierarchy. All inmates pay...
