Anthony Bourdain, famed chef, traveler, eater, and frequent guest judge on Top Chef traveled to Columbia and sampled some intense food! Unfortunately I didn't see anything vegetarian among the things he was eating, but there were vegetables in and among the meat products. The most interesting thing I saw on the show was young people (about our age or a bit older) speaking about how 10-15 years ago the drug cartels ran their neighborhoods and no one could go anywhere without danger. Now Columbia, in less than 15 years, is a country transformed. The young people said it was a change in the hearts of its people that helped Columbia heal and prosper so soon.
The Travel Channel also had a great parody of a prescription drug advertisement. The commerical directed people who had symptoms of "the travel bug" to ihavethebug.com where they could find a community of support. I think I have something like "the travel cough" lingering but not serious.

Oh man, do I have the travel bug. We should plan a trip for winter break so that I start saving money - being an adult is so expensive! And maybe your trip to Phoenix will help your cough - there is so much to explore here! I'm scheming ways to get discounted ticket to all the cool museums here on account of the fact I'm a teacher.
