Our house was full of Halloween spirit during Halloween Shenanigans Part II. The costumes were great! Fabian went to a new extreme with his costume this year! You'll understand what I mean when you see the pictures! I loved my fun costume too!

Paddle in the Amazon
I spent my Easter holiday with my 3 friends Jenn, Tara and Caroline. We flew to Leticia, Colombia. Leticia is a town of about 20,000 located on the main stream of the Amazon where the borders of Colombia, Peru and Brazil meet. From there we took a boat 4 hours down river into a tributary of the Amazon called the Javari. We stayed at a nature reserve in Brazil for the week. It was great! We hiked, swam, hunted cayman, ate piranahs and slept 40 meters up in a tree in the jungle. The motto of the trip was don't look for the party, BE the party and I think we followed through... for some reason we became the enertainment for the other guests on a regular basis.
I celebrated my 30th birthday while we were there. It was great. We took a boat to a lagoon and at night, climbed 40mts up into the canopy and then took a zip line across the lagoon to the other platform and spent the night. Definitely a memorable experience.

Christmas in Cartagena
For Christmas this year I went to meet my parents for a week in Cartagena. I even brought along Fabian so my parents could meet him. We had the best time!!We lazed on the beach, ate the most amazing meals and even visited a mud volcano!
Cartagena ia a UNESCO World Heritage site and the Old City is beautiful. It is filled with tiny streets and beautiful painted houses. The resaurants are the best part. They are everywhere and the food is incredible.
Fabian got a chance to practice lots of English! My dad helped him out amplifying his vocabulary with pratical words like drowsy! Thanks Dad!
It was a great time and I think my parents enjoyed escaping winter so much that they are already planning next year's trip.
