Add another stamp in my passport

I just recently returned from my first trip abroad…something I’ve been meaning to do for years. It was definitely a worthwhile experience, although it was not exactly what I had expected (I’m not sure what I expected).

Anyway, as I deplaned in Colombia, I felt a little uneasy about it all—it didn’t help that the girl next to me on the flight was telling me horror stories of how the customs officials loved to hound Americans! However, in the end, there was nothing to it. Although they looked a little intimidating (with there AK’s), they were quite helpful and once we started talking I felt right at ease.

Next stop…Italy in November!
