Diet Plan and Recap
I’m writing to tell you about a new diet plan I have invented. It only cost .75 USD and is guaranteed to help you lose 10 pounds before summer. Your perfect beach body is just three steps away:
1. Go out on any street in Barranquilla
2. Eat a beef empanada at 2 am from a man selling them on the side of the road. You want to wait until 2 so you can get the last one he has and build up a good appetite to put it down quick.
3. Go home and get some sleep. The next morning the real magic begins.
While this is very effective I don’t suggest it to anyone. Last week was pretty rough! Sorry I have been slacking on the blogs recently. Let me give you a quick recap of what I’ve been up to. Last night I played in a plaza downtown at a music festival with my friends. We were the last group to play and we killed it! Had the people dancing, jumping around, and throwing flowers at us. My friends told me I was the first gringo to ever perform in the plaza. It was a very sketchy part of Barranquilla, an area they told me to never go by myself. Before we played we walked to get a beer from a stand, a short 3 minute walk that was filled with a strange paranoia. Don’t want to sound like a ignorant gringo here… but it looked very 3rd world ish. The performance was without a doubt one of the most fun 15 minute shows I have ever had. Thanks to my combo!
The day before we performed in a store in Buenavista, the largest mall in Barranquilla. It was my second in-store performance and I had a lot of fun. My friends here, just like Flex Mathews did in DC, have been bringing me everywhere they play and letting me perform with them. I’m very blessed to have met such great and talented people in my life.
Other than that I’m just living, trying to improve my Spanish, planning some trips to see different parts of the country, and thanking God for my health and the opportunities he has provided me. Well with exception to tonight… I have a 102.6 fever and there is a mariachi band playing in my living room. Got to love Colombia!
