Preping for the Expedition

Text written in: English

Tommarow morning i start walking to Ciudad Perdida. an acient city three days into the colombia jungle. god damn i am so excited. it`s a 6 day trip. I`m taking a tour with a guy who`s been going every week for the last 7 or something years. rodrigo. i think there are four other travellers on the tour.

the tour company has deals worked out with any possible dangerous factions we might encounter. apparently if we`re lucky we`ll get to meet paramilitaries, guerrillas, and/or indegenious tribes on the way.

i can already feel the persperation flooding from loved ones. but this is the safest colombia has been in a long time. and like i say tours have been going every week for a long time.

the way i figure it it`s better to die living the dream than "live" a life of what ifs. all death is certain anyways. ooops probably shouldn`t get into my hacky philoshophy. anyhoo talk to you all in six days.

got the rest of the cartegena pics on this comp at the hostel, put them up when i get back.
