Well I'm on my way to Bogota for my fiancee's interview next week. Always seem to get alltitude sickness there because of the high elavation (9000 feet mas y menos) This time went to the doctor and was perscribed Acetazolamide :wow: whiich is what they give Mountain climers. It worked last time let's see :whistle: The interview ties up the entire week because of the medical, lab, vaccines, and bank. Taking the family to see Harry Potter while I'm there.

Chao all :dance:

Time is relative... The mind makes it slow, the heart makes it fast, our friends make it worth while, and words... make it timeless.
