Well, tonight I am off to Cartagena for a week of sun and sand! October Break in schools is a fantastic idea. We are taking a bus tonight to the city. It is a 10-12 hour ride, so should be really interesting. After spending a few days in Cartagena, we are heading off to Santa Marta and then to Parque Tayrona, a national park in Colombia that is supposed to be paradise. I am excited to get out of Medellin--the coastal cities will be a welcome break from the pollution and rain that is here. Planning on getting a new camera before we leave tonight, so when I get back I'll put up some pics of the trip!
On the American front, I tried to watch the debate last night, but couldn't get a good connection over the 'net, so eventually gave up. I'm going to try and find it on the internet so I can see what the VP's are like. I am envious of you all in the States during this time. What an exciting political atmosphere! While I know it is biased, I still wanted to post a link to The New Yorker magazines website. The editors have written a piece endorsing Obama for Pres and I think that it is so eloquently written and thoughtful. Even if you don't swing in the way of the democrats, I would suggest reading it!

The magazine received so much slack for it's earlier portrayal of Obama, but they have definitely shown their informed support with this article.
That's all for now! I won't be "with computer" for the next 10 days or so, but will post as soon as I can!
Happy October!
