Sounds like you're up for a good adventure in Colombia.... Once you get this pesky visa thing figured out.....

Hello Allison,

Sorry I took time to get back to you. No, unfortunately, I didn't visit the Holocuast museum. I go there to work and by the time I'm done, it's after 5:00 p.m. I go enjoy the restaurants and one time my wife and I walked D.C. a lot at night. I love hanging out in Georgetown and Dupont Circle.

D.C. proper, inside the beltway, is absolutely beautiful. There's tons of money there; you have to be somewhat well off to live in those places. Since it's part of my work, my company puts me up in nice hotels within the beltway. I've stayed at the famous Mayflower Hotel on Connecticut Avenue, where all the international diplomats and statesmen stay. It's has a very bronze and cherry wood motif - very stately. But I wouldn't be able to personally afford staying in that place ever.

The Metro is awesome and very unlike New York City trains. Actually, the Metro in Caracas is very similar and I understand so is the one in Medellín. I believe it's a French design. But I think the allure to D.C. is the power you feel walking in or around the lawn, with the Capitol on one end, the Washington monument some what near the middle, and the Abe Lincoln Memorial sitting at the other end. It's fascinating and like you, it's one of my favorite places. My 11 year old daughter, a history buff, loves it there too.

Regards,

Plato

Welcome to PBH, Scarby. This is the first of your posts I've seen although you seem to have been here for awhile. Yes, watch out for Big Brother - mostly kidding... So, are you a graduate student working as a teaching assistant or have you completed your degree? Interesting background. As a member of AIESEC are you trying to get recruited to a job overseas or working on recruiting others?

Hey...nice meeting you today. I hope I didn't talk your ears off too much but it really was nice to be able to speak completely fluently with someone here.
