So, since it's a new month, we have more space available on flickr, and since it's about 1000x faster to put pics up on there than on the blog, then that's mostly where they'll be for now. Check them out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/chamberscolombia.

We're still just waiting and hoping to hear from our lawyer early this week. Since there's not much else going on, some random thoughts from Joe:

1. Man, Colombians love mushrooms. At every restaurant, about a third of the items include mushrooms. I just don't get it.

2. There are a ton of American sitcoms on the English-speaking channels here, which has given me time to think about them. Obviously, Friends is a great show and is still great in re-runs, but Frasier and Mad About You still hold up really well also. What doesn't hold up is Married With Children. It helped push the envelope of sitcoms, thereby allowing us to enjoy Family Guy years later, but when you go back and watch it now, it's just not funny. (We've clearly spent too much time sitting and playing on the floor of the same room if I've had this much time to think about this.)

3. I was finally able to find a street vendor the other day selling knock-off soccer jerseys, so I can go home happy now. I got an Atl. Bucaramanga jersey and both home and away Colombian national team jerseys for less than five bucks each.

4. Speaking of soccer, there were UEFA Champions League games on ESPN this past week, and while we were watching the Barcelona-Chelsea game, I got Marisol to say "Barça." So, clearly she has taste.

5. Did you know they made Chevy-Suzukis? There are Chevrolet Samurais and Vitaras. I had no idea they had a deal like that.

Okay, that's all the randomness I've got for now. We'll post again soon.
