It's always nice to see photos. Thanks Jim. I'd love to see some more.

They are like Colombians in that for whatever reason, they don't smile for photos. They all look like mug shots.
Nice crib though.
They might have a foundation issue. Have their architect check it out!

COLOMBIANS DON'T SMILE FOR PICTURES!!!!? Sail that's nonsense. Here's one from a little shindig I threw earlier this year in Barranquilla. The only person that not Colombian in this picture is me....of course, if you can find me I'd really be surprised. He He.

Nice pics Jim.....

Nice family, Benjio.

The drill here, which I've done several times is to throw a party to meet "the family", Everyone smiles here when there's free food and San Miguel Light.

Sure, you get everyone hammered and there are smiles all around. I am talking about the general family photos where people just don't smile. I asked a Russian girl about that once because they don't smile either and she revealed it is because their teeth are so bad. That isn't a problem here, Colombians have beautiful teeth. Sometimes just a few, but they are nice!

Someone told me that about Russia and it is just as bad here. Poor people don;t do to the dentist. They just have their teeth extracted when they hurt.

Sail, you got me...I don't think there's a person in that picture over 16 that isn't drunk off their ass.

Nor did they pay for the booze. If unlimited free booze doesn't make you smile, someone needs to tell you you''re already dead.
