Sunday 23/06/13 On Sunday I went to watch some of the guys from AIESEC play rugby. It was very hot and the other team was a bit bgger than them. But all money went to the local rugby club, to improve it. I sat with ricardo and some others and then met Emma, a girl from the UK who has just arrived, and her boyfriend Steven. It was funny watching the guys warm up, as it was so hot. I ave literally no idea how they managed it. After 15 mins of playing, Iain looked...

Saturday 22/06/13 Today, I have to admit, I was hungover. i'm annoyed because I missed the parade but there's a bigger one next weekend so I'll go to that.All I have to talk about today, really, is the fruit.

I had to turn down the papaya, as i didn't want to be ill again. We headed out to the mall, all 4 of us, and then...

:) hey. In my last blog I got to the arrival in Bogota. Well, once we finally arrived we went through passport control, customs and another security check before finally leaving the airport. We were so happy that our luggage arrived as we both thought it was probably still in atlanta. I strapped on the huge rucksack and headed out.
