!Bienvenido a Bogotá!

I am here in Colombia! My trip was so smooth, and already, as you can see below-- I am diving into a beautiful culture. On the plane, I got to sit next to a teenage boys soccer team, who instantly became interested in telling me about their country and where I should visit, then was picked up at the gate by my friend Cris Campbell, then not 2 hours after we landed, I was sitting in the rehearsals that Cris and his colleagues were running of all the best young string players from around the country. The teachers all worked together with the main director during the tutti rehearsal, with no ego and an incredible sense of team. Wow- I've never seen anything like it at home. Then to an amazing dinner of Asian-Colombian fusion with Cris and his kind friend and conductor, Carlos Andres- where I tried yerba buena tempura, flan de coco and of course, Colombian beer! Hasta pronto. ~
