A few more pictures

As promised, a few pictures!

 

Outlet in the tree: for now I think that the guy who fries things for the kids in the mornings uses this the most. My favorite fried item from his is a "dedito," which means "little finger." They're basically mini croissants filled with cheese.

The outside of my house/my abuela's store. The awning says "fotocopias," and it's basically open all day and night whenever my abuelos are home. Even at 9:00 people will knock on the door  and ask for photocopies or pencils or candy, but it's mostly busy during the school day from 6:30am on.

 Inside of the tienda. The grating goes away in the mornings, but whenever they don't want to man the store they just shut the grate and people call out, "Buenos!" and my abuelos come answer.

 

Nifty looking bug-thing

View from the top....of the official peace corps office. It's complete open so there's a beautiful 360-degree view of the city and the Magdalena River.

Outside Colombo America's central campus. Turns out that  a lot of English speakers work here...two current volunteers will start working here when their service is up as well, teaching English to children and adults from all over Barranqulla and Colombia.
