So, here's the scoop on Columbia..... there aren't really any seasons here. Well, they say that it gets wet or dry, but that's not really seasons. If you want to experience a different climate you just change elevations. And that is what I did this weekend. Well, me and 12 of my closest friends! LOL
Actually, it was a trip to a resort near the town of Melgar, that was organized by Isabella ~ which made us a little nervous. Luckily, the hotel didn't make any mistakes with our rooms so she didn't have to yell at anyone behind the desk! In fact, she only had to 'shush' the young man behind the desk once! (He made the mistake of telling her something before she was done explaining to us how to use the free drink coupon.)
Yup, free drinks, reduced rates on the rooms. It is sort of like a business perk. Apparently all businesses have to belong to some sort of "club". Then all the people associated with that business, or in our case, school, have the privilege of visiting the club for 'mental health' days and such. A perk. For teachers. Go figure! I love Colombia!!!!
Anyway, this 'club' that we belong to has resorts throughout Colombia apparently and the one at Melgar is just one of the closest to Bogota.
And the place was gorgeous! Our rooms were beautiful, as were the grounds of the hotel. And the pool was fabulous! In fact I spent virtually the entire weekend in the pool or (for a short while) lounging next to it catching some rays.
I only got out for a massage and dinner! What a relaxing weekend! I know that we will make this trip at least once a month. :-)

Man, you guys are really roughing it down there!
ummmmm Hello, can you explain this whole "club" system to me a little more? Why hasn't America figured out teachers need some mental health days and not just to get our car oil changed and cavities filled. All day by the pool with a break for a massage?!?! Sign me up! :)
Oh and who is Isabelle? Sorry if you already explained this
