Aventuras en Colombia: August 2011
http://sergioencolombia.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Mi Nombre Es Sergio. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Now That You Mention It. Remember the scene in Pretty Woman. When Julia Roberts is shopping for something nice to wear in a fancy little boutique somewhere on Rodeo Drive and the shop girls follow her around the store, making rude comments and passing judgement, despite the fact that she has money to burn? Shopping in a Colombian mall will make you feel like Julia Roberts, but minus the rude comments and judgement passing. It was like going to therapy. One o...

https://littlecolombiaobservationist.wordpress.com/made-in-mogotes
Crafts make us feel rooted,. Give us a sense of belonging. And connect us with our history. Mogotes is a small village in Colombia where people work hard with the resources they have to make a living: coffee, sugarcane, cows. Some artisans farm a plant called fique. The fique goes through a long process and eventually becomes a thread-like material that can be crafted into a number of products like the bags and rugs you see here. Spead the Colombia Love:.

Sergio's Samba through Brazil: Down on the Farm
http://sergiossamba.blogspot.com/2015/05/down-on-farm.html
18 May, 2015. Down on the Farm. As part of an interdisciplinary field trip, the 9th grade class took a day trip to a historic coffee plantation about an hour from Campinas, known as Fazenda Ibicaba. Built in 1817 and run by a Senator by the name of Nicolau Vergueiro, the plantation has been preserved as an example of this era of coffee agriculture as well as to tell the story of the slaves and immigrant workers who went on to make up a large part of the Brazilian demographic. Class of 2018 in front of th...

Aventuras en Colombia: February 2012
http://sergioencolombia.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Mi Nombre Es Sergio. Thursday, February 23, 2012. We've all been reprimanded with the phrase "actions speak louder than words" at one point or another. And if you're me, your parents cleverly amended this idiom to say "and yours are screaming so loud I can't hear anything else." In Colombia, this is no exception; sometimes actions can be more effective communication than speaking. It should be noted that my maid is the "'Grave' Floppy Palm" champion and I will confidently pit her against anyone. Colombia...

Aventuras en Colombia: June 2012
http://sergioencolombia.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Mi Nombre Es Sergio. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. When I first arrived in Cali five years ago I had no expectations and many misconceptions. I knew I was going to a place regarded by the US State Department as having "improved in recent years.but violence by narco-terrorist groups continues to affect some rural areas and large cities" and that coffee, cocaine, and Shakira were considered major exports. And end list of Colombian "knowledge.". I struggle with overkill):. LIST #1: Top Five Most Unique Places.

Aventuras en Colombia: May 2012
http://sergioencolombia.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Mi Nombre Es Sergio. Wednesday, May 23, 2012. The Pacific coast of Colombia will never be a major tourist mecca. This has nothing to do with the fact that it is mostly rural, jungle, severely under-developed, and a victim of much poverty. Its the fact that it rains. It rains a lot. The Colombian coast on the Pacific ocean is one of the rainiest places on the planet. However, last weekend the sun made a visit and decided to stick around. A winning weekend all around! 161;Bienvenidos a Juanchaco! Tragicall...
