Vicente and Susana are coming tomorrow!!

I'm so excited about my brother and his girl friend coming to Cali tomorrow. They will officially be my first visitors. He called me today, and it was so good to hear his voice on the phone. He asked if I needed anything from Houston...I told him "No". I wanted him to bring me some of my shoes that I miss soooo much, but I decided that I should just leave them in Houston and buy new ones here. I can't wait to show them around Cali.

I'm starting to feel like some of my friends have forgotten about me. just joking. I just wish I could share all these awesome experiences with a friend from home. Its nice to compare the way things are here with the way things are over there with a like-minded person. I find myself defending the states a lot more than I am used to.

I really want to go out and explore the rest of Colombia. I'm debating if that is something I can do safely by myself. If I were in Peru, it could totally be done. Unfortunately, this beautiful country of Colombia has issues. Its sad because there is so much to see and explore, but as a female american, I can't do this by myself without the fear of something bad happening to me. Its even sadder because the whole idea of this trip was to explore Colombia and now, that I have no one to do it with, I don't even know if I'll be able to see all the things I had planned on seeing. Whats the point of this trip if I'm not doing the things I thought I was going to do?

It would be really nice to have a friend here with me. If you don't have any better opportunites that arise within the next few months, come on down.
