Pre-Departure

Tags:

Tomorrow morning I am going down south. Not down south where conversations consist of alligator stew recipes or who has the best gun rack in their SUV. I am talking about South America south. Colombia is the name on the ticket and I am thrilled to know that I will have 7 weeks of new experiences in that locale. I will be spending most of my time in Bogota, but we (friend + friend's family) will definitely be making side trips to other places of intrigue throughout the country. There is a possibility that I will have the extraordinary fortune to see the Amazon in Colombia. If this happens I might just explode with glee…

The last time I went to Colombia (2 years ago) I came back with a completely new respect for my friend Antonio and the country his heart calls home. Colombia is a shockingly diverse country that has so much to offer. It is this diversity that stirs my spirit to go, see and do. Here is a picture of me from the last trip.

Lastly, I shall leave you with a quote by Robert Louis Stevenson.

"I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. "

Be well and travel swiftly with your dreams.

-Zach

Hi Zachary,

I love the marvelous work you have done. It is all quite inspirational and talented. I hope you are having an awesome time in Columbia. I look forward to reading about it on your blog in Columbia. I am assuming you are on holidays and there is no time to be writing at this time. I am sure you have tons to write about in your head.

All my love, and your dad sends all of his love also, Chester is purring.
Hugs, Kisses,
Mom
