AH -

Give the Prof a call. He is banned from most places in Cali, but can still give you directions.

Love - Micky

Hey come on man! Those bans were COMPLETELY out of any reason. Who knew you can't swim naked with the apes at the zoo?

SO-

Never did I say it was your fault, you are a victim. They make stupid rules and do not inform you, that is just wrong.

Damn right, I AM a victim. All of those signs are in some sort of weird language which I don't understand! Is that my fault? I hardly think so.
I am planning to walk along the runway at CLO tomorrow to pick strawberrys. I am pretty sure those rules are different here too.

And what's the best way to get to these places? I really don't know much about Colombia at this point. I'm still traveling around in areas that are close to my home base in Palmira. Any suggestions or possibilities are appreciated.

Today we're travling to the Zoo, in Cali. I've been told it's one of the best in Latin America.

I think you should be able to get a bus tu buga, probably 2 hours from palmira or so.. When its hot as hell in cali a trip up the mountain to dagua is nice maybe 30 minutes from the west side.. nice restaraunts for a long lunch and great views.. I think it is on the road to buenaventure but cant remember its been a few years for me.. A cab up there is probably the best way..

Sailover is there look him up.. Meet him for a cafe con vista en cali, I am sure he knows all the spots for that.
