A walk near Cali!

Salento - Thanksgiving with the family

This is a coffe field at the Coffee Park, normally this is not what it looks like. Banana trees are planted around the beans to offer more shade. Also, Colombian coffee is the best because each bean is hand picked and hand selected.

La Familia en Colombia

A traditional meal

Walking in a park near the school

At a restaurant above the city

The mountains are spectacular

They are so beautiful!

When the family was here I put them to work!

I love my classroom! Never will I have such an amazing classroom!

We took a little walk around the school's campus.

A student's home, and it is perfect for sleep overs!

The pool house, pool and view of the mountians

We visited a student's house. It was not that small.

A day at the country club, Club Campestre

Me gusto mucho Colombia

Cali Zoo - The best in South America

The zoo in Cali is the best in South America. It was incredible to be able to get closer to the animals than you are allowed to in the states!! We had a great time at the zoo.

Colombia has over 3,800 different species of butterflies. At the zoo was this incredible screened in building where we walked among hundreds of butterflies.

Colorado Summer

Second year Apartment

I enjoy our apartment this year. It is on the fourth and fifth floors and we have plenty of room to share! The closets are great and I even have a bike room! It gets great fresh air and has large windows. The best thing is we pay $460 a month and that means between three girls it is only $150 each!

Colombia's Coast -Tayrona

Tayrona National Park, Colombia

Laurel my college roomate joined me on the coast for 2 weeks before the school year started. We ended up making great friends to share with for the week.

There is nobody else on the beach, why not!

I have seen a lot of beaches in Thailand, Indonesia, Costa Rica and more, but this is way up on the list of best beaches I have seen. They are reserved, no buildings and no people!

How will I ever want to go to another beach, clearly Colombia has the best!

My hotel room was very nice and cheap too since I brought my own hammock! We could have stayed at the "hotel" below but it was 2 dollars more expensive than our 4 dollar nights!
