        Millions expected for parades in the main cities. It's also a marge against the FARC.

        They should probably all stay home though, Treece thinks everyone will be kidnapped.

          Neil Armstrong taking first steps on the moon 159 years later was probably at least as significant a milestone on this date. Nevertheless, Happy Birthday Colombia.

            Durito,Colombia sort of fascinates me recently since a couple guys I know from Minnesota married Colombian women.Great looking women by the way that speak better English than the kids that were born here.I don't like delving into their backgrounds too much and they disclose a little information here and there so I'm piecing the situation together.It sounds like the parents,grand parents,great great grand parents were never in on any drug trade down there but it seems like they have wealth and wanted the kids out of Colombia to Miami for starters.These women told me that a couple brothers were killed by the drug traders randomly or something.So is it a case where there is a revolution taking place where the lord land owners that are wealthy are under attack by the common folk?

            Not to be mean or anything but is it a case where you have the drug cartel,the established sort of wealthy blue bloods that the drug cartel doesn't like and a peasant class where many of those people side with the drug people?

            Anyway,these lucky SOB guys I know seem to have come into more cash and a better standard of living since they got married.That's what I say about most people who have a few bucks these days.It usually comes from inheritances,marrying into it,winning lawsuits or being in the inner circle of government where you get sweetheart deals.

            Do you ever find any emeralds where you are in Colombia?I collect rocks and bought a huge bag of the disgarded tailings stuff from a mine down there for a cheap price and found some nice stuff.What a beautiful country scenery wise and it seems like you have natural resources.

            P.S.These two women I mentioned seem to have alot of euro influence where they fly to Spain and a couple other euro countries to visit relatives.Is that common or is that a certain class of people in Colombia that have euro ties?

                Congrats. Columbia has been a hot desitnation of late for some in the US. Anthony Bordain did a show from Columbia last Monday, and the parts of the country he visited looked amazing.
