thank you NY i am now 100 million pesos richer
I am not sure what we did if we did anything to piss off our Columbian Girls Freinds. I gave Carolina a call in the morning and never heard anything vack. Oh Well. a couple of guys from the hostel came with us on the metro downtown to an art gallery. 3 stories with some great stuff. There is a famous Columbian artist by the name of Fernando Botero whos work i recognized. The place is pretty much set up for him. He does paintings and sculptures of fat people, i quite liked his stuff. I think i was the only one into the art as i was looking at most of the stuff while the others just grouped up and talked the whole time, but i guess art hits people in different ways. One of the guys wanted something to eat and we all wanted to find a place where we could sit outside and have a drink. I suggested the Champions bar as this is the place that i knew would be showing the Superbowl later on in the evening, I had heard that you could place bets so i wanted to get there early enough so that i could put down some pesos. I am glad that we did go early cause the place was going to be packed. I was able to place a bet on NY and the spread and reserve us a nice view of the screen. We returned later on in the evening. Christian came with me to support me. They were going to show the game in the hostel, but i new since they were not Americans that they would just be giving me a bunch of shit because it is not as cool as soccer. Whatever. there were over 150 people there to see the game, i expected there to be loads of Americans but there was only a handfull and the rest were Columbian. the one guy in front of us was for the Patriots but the rest around me were all for NY so it was lots of fun, screaming and high fiving the locals. They even served Budweiser, but it was made in Chili and tasted awful. I came home with my hands stinging from clapping and 100 million pesos richer. I would have put exclamation points after that sentence but this keyboard is missing a few keys.
