That Can't Be True!

1) So I have to admit that I saw the naked man again.  I didn't walk all the way down to the building (we were in the middle of figuring out apartment paperwork), but I think the picture shows that he looks really really real!  While I still think it might be a continual art project, I might be willing to admit that he is a statue.....but he totally looks real!  So that can't be true!

2) So as I have mentioned before, Colombians eat a lot of food.  To the right is a picture of a plate of food that I ordered at a restaurant.  It's bigger than it looks...They like to stack food whereas in the US we still like our food separated for the most part.  Diego ate his plate and about 1/2 of mine.  For the 2 weeks we stayed at the boarding house I finished a total of 3 meals (that was after I told her to give me less.  That can't be true!!!!  I have decided that there is something about Colombian food that makes me feel it faster so I get full very fast....cause lord knows I can kill 2 plates of Bob Evans "Big Farmer's Breakfast" in the US.  And yes I did eat the chicharron (fried pig skin)....that can't be true!!! But actually it can!

3) My husband is an evil dictator wanting to take over the world!!!!  See video for proof!  That can't be true, can it?  Further proof can be seen by his evil joy of the thought of eating little, adorable, innocent bird eggs!

4) There are a few things in Colombia that seem backwards to me.  First...they do not drink juice for breakfast, but they do drink it for lunch and dinner!  That can't be true!!!  Second, I cannot get in or out of my apartment building without the doorman.  That can't be true!!! But it is!!!!  The doorman is the only person who has the key to the building.  So yes, that means sometimes I wait inside the building to get the attention of the doorman, who also works the 3 buildings near me, in order to let me out. Btw, the next blog will be devoted entirely to the apartment and furniture!

5) To go to the grocery store I have to climb these stairs....that can't be true!!!  But it is!!!!  There are 84 stairs plus the two sets of stairs to get in the apartment!!  I love the challenge especially 7,020 ft up!!  Take that Marie with your little 52 steps to your walk up!! Hehehehe!

6) This is definitely true!!! I am the clumsiest person ever!!!  Diego and I went to get some arepas and cheese along with some beer for our very first meal ever in the apartment.  It was raining and I was in flip flops so when I walked down the stairs I slipped and slid down 3 or 4 stairs on my side.  I have a large bruise on my hip along with a few other bruises down my leg!!!!  Painful...yes.  Embarrassing....hell yes!!!!!  Luckily the arepas and beer were fantastic!!!!!!

7) Finally, a couple pictures that are absolutely beautiful that just don't seem real to me!  I love the dog picture, because he was doing the same thing I was.....hanging out in the middle of the road checking out the fantastic views!!!!
