Crystal Canyon

07/22/2022

[pgc_simply_gallery id="952"] Sandra recently met Lana, a Swiss girl at Euphoria, where we’ve been learning to dance (better). She invited us to join her on a tour of Colombia’s Crystal Canyon, home to the Rainbow River, one of the most spectacular sights in Colombia. Of course we jumped at the…Read More

Villa de Leyva

07/12/2022

[pgc_simply_gallery id="960"] Sandra has done a great job of finding interesting ways to spend our anniversary, and this year she wanted to return to her favourite Colombian town. Villay de Leyva is about four hours from Bogota and about twice as far from Medellin, so we flew through Bogota to…Read More

Galapagos

11/15/2021

We’d been hoping to return to Australia for the last few months of this year, but with the borders still closed, that wasn’t an option. Instead, we looked around for a place we’d like to visit that was ready to start rebuilding their tourism industry. We were delighted to find…Read More

Minca y Palomino

07/03/2021

After mini-lockdowns kept us home most weekends during the first half of the year, Sandra and I wanted to escape to somewhere nice for our anniversary. We discussed going somewhere like Jamaica, but the idea of going to such a place and having to wear a mask all the time…Read More

Guatapé

06/06/2021

Sandra’s brother Andres came to Medellin with his new girlfriend Johanna, and we decided to all go to Guatapé together for a weekend. They arrived on Friday evening and briefly visited our flat before we went for an Indian dinner at Mercado del Rio. Early Saturday morning we left for…Read More

Bogota Christmas

12/25/2020

We decided to spend Christmas with Sandra’s mother this year, because we hadn’t seen her family since last Christmas. As always, they were very welcoming. We arrived on the evening of the 23rd, went to bed early, and took it easy all day on the 24th so I’d have the…Read More

Santa Fe Round 2

12/10/2020

Sandra wanted a sunbaking holiday, so we decided to retrace our steps to our first weekend away together. We booked the cheapest AirBnB with a pool we could find, and caught the bus for a 3-night weekend, something we can do easily now that Sandra is working independently. The house…Read More

Candle Day

12/07/2020

The 7th of December is Candle Day when households place an array of candle lanterns in front of the house and often gather outside for dinner. Last year, we didn’t get out act together and ended up melting a few birthday candles into a dish on our balcony. This year,…Read More

Cartoon Jigsaw

11/24/2020

Sandra normally writes the jigsaw posts, but she’s been busy so I’ll write this as a placeholder. I chose this puzzle as being different from anything we’ve done before, but also as one that had lots of detail that would help Sandra pick out the pieces more easily. I was…Read More

Murray’s Birthday 2020

11/03/2020

Sandra did a much better job with my birthday than I did with hers. She began on the previous Saturday, which happened to be Halloween. A girl from the gym came to paint our faces in the style of the Mexican Day of the Dead. We then went to Enigma…Read More

  1. Hola Mario como estas ?
    Te felicito muy buen trabajo.
    El relato de cada foto esta genial las fotos muy bonitas.
    Es un diario de pareja muy ingenioso para el futuro, pues en unos cuantos años eso es lo que queda, los recuerdos, los momentos vividos y compartidos con “AMOR”

  2. Hola mis chinitos, que bueno verlos en esa actitud, en estos tiempos de la difícil situación que se esta viviendo a nivel mundial.
    Pues es un ejemplo de fe . positivismo y ganas de ganar esta batalla, y donde hay amor, comprensión, respeto y tolerancia, como lo hay entre ustedes, nada es imposible.
    Y eso a mi como madre y suegra, me genera mucha alegría, y aquí en nuestro núcleo familiar que es pequeño, que son Ricardo, Andrés y yo, Mario ya para nosotros es nuestra familia, ustedes dos son uno solo.
    Admiro lo recursivos que son, para ingeniárselas, y aprovechar cada momento para celebrar sus fechas especiales no importa el lugar , el dia ni la hora es solo mantener vivo ese ” AMOR ” , por los cuales decidieron unir sus vidas
    Y con toda mi Bendición y augurios, de que sea por siempre.
    Mario se ha ganado, todo nuestro cariño y respeto , por ser como es.
    Los amo y les sigo deseando lo mejor de lo mejor.
    Un fuerte abrazo de oso graaaaaaande.
