vacation frustration

Adjusting to life after vacation is always hard, but it seems to be particularly hard in Colombia.

First: The airline (American Airlines) lost a piece of luggage. On Monday they said it would be at the airport Tuesday, so after school we took a cab to the airport where there was no bag. Today I called the missing baggage number and they assurred me, "Yes, your bag has arrived at the airport...in Costa Rica."

Second: Our phone and internet were turned off. I only have access to the internet at school.

Speaking of school, here is the third: The administration has "invited" me to attend a drug prevention workshop from 7:30 to 11:30 this Saturday.

I was trying to think of a fourth, but there isn't one, which, I guess, is a good thing.

I'm sure the drug prevention workshop will be beneficial. We all know foreigners are the source of Colombian drug trade and manufacture.

Little known fact: Pablo Escobar was born and raised in a quaint village in Ontario Canada. It was later learned that while he was a member of a traveling SAFETY kids troop he did not benefit from the required drug prevention class. This of course led to many decades of death, corruption, and greed.

A drug prevention seminar Saturday morning will really inhibit you from drinking heavily on Friday night...bummer.
