Jeff and Ruby had to go to Itagui a wealthy town north of Medellin to pick up some mail that was brought down from the US. Jeff said it was pretty easy to get to take the train to the end of the line and then a short bus ride. I should tell you when you take the bus sit in the middle of the bus if you sit in the front or the back you’ll either get spinal compression or a bruised kidney. These bus drivers take great pleasure in seeing that they hit every available bump or pothole in the road. When they got off the train there was a huge discount outlet mall, well I think there must be a different meaning for outlet in Colombia than in the US. Prices were not cheap it was as or more expensive than malls in Medellin. Now that Christmas is over everybody is getting ready for New Years Eve. Jeff is past the age where he gets excited about the day he’s just glad to have made it through another year and I just can’t stand the noise. I think I know why Ruby doesn’t hear that well people turn the music up to ear piercing levels and then set off fireworks, GIVE ME A BREAK. I can’t put my head under the pillow you know and I’ll be by little old self the whole night and the next day, it’s a two day party. One thing not to like about down here is the amount of alcoholism you see People are in the bars at 8 or 9 am there’s no closing time and they get on motorcycles and want to know why there are so many accidents. They really need to address this problem if they want to an increase in tourism. The present Jeff and Ruby got for John and Hari were broken when they opened them Ruby got them from a friends store the price was good but know they don’t have replacements in the store but don’t worry they said there coming. That’s what they said about the phone they bought and that was a month and a half ago.
