Sabado en Chia

On Saturday afternoon I had my first glimpse of Colombian countryside. Went to Chia, a small town about an hour out of North Bogota. We were in Chia to visit an NGO that runs a home for children, mostly orphans and victims of domestic violence/sexual abuse. While Javier had a lengthy chat with the director of the NGO to talk about how we (he rather) can help fundraise for them (Aakash Sethi, I hope you're smiling) I mostly daydreamed and took in the saturday afternoon countryside laziness. People playing 'tejo'... a popular rural game that involves lot of rowdiness, shouting and beers. Loud music from the local watering holes. Street food. Brilliant 'empanadas' in someone's frontyard, a guy who claimed to have the meanest chilli in all of Colombia (and he wasn't joking)...great afternoon...

Hey Naaz

Brilliant blog and truly breathtaking pics� piggy backed here courtesy Vinayak�s blog the link for which in turn I got off another classmate of mine.

Right about now I�m wishing:
a. I had a Digicam
b. I had a more interesting life :)

My blog seems so droll in comparison. Anyways its good to see your doing good for yourself. Keep posting!
