Colombian landings
Right, so if anyone had told me last year, that I would be in Colombia this year, I would have told him he was nuts. But here I am. The trip from Israel was pretty uneventful, if long. For some reason, I got stuck with a 13 hour, overnight layover in Barcelona. Now, Barcelona is (apparently) a nice city, with lots of interesting architecture, etc., but I got there just as the sun was setting, and had to leave at 9:00 the next morning. So I spend a lovely night in the airport, sleeping on a bench. At least that airport is pretty quiet overnight. There was a bit of a delay leaving Barcelona, which made the connection in Madrid pretty tight (imagine trying to hurry throught the security for a flight to Colombia...), but othewise it was okay. I can't say much about the in flight entertainment - most of the things were movies that were shown on the flight to Barcelona, or on the earlier flights I had to S. Africa. So that was pretty boring. Now I'm here, and trying to deal with jetlag, and my rudimentary spanish.
I haven't forgotten about the rest of the African trip, I just haven't written it yet. More on that will follow.

Cleveland, eh? Some pretty interesting cultural differences there, but at least you don't have to watch out for rogue elephants. I can't imagine why they thought you looked shady. Maybe it was the opposite - they thought you looked too normal, so you must have been carrying explosives. I wonder if you would have problems with the nitrogen checks after a week on Reserve duty?
