A Special Post...

In dedication of my grandma who turns 86 today and to honour el Día de Independencia de Colombia. Judging from what I see on the tv screen, today's been one of the most patriotic gatherings in Colombia's history, from Paris to Madrid to London to Bogotá to Miami. It's a huge step for people to show they care so they don't breed a lost cause.

luuuuv shaki! i just talked to my mother-in-law this morning and despite all the stuff going on she said that tomorrow isn't a holiday and they still have to go to work. but i guess since every other monday is a holiday there they'll get over it.

That's weird. They'd generally give a Monday off for independence day. Today's been phenomenal! I've been watching all day the concerts with Shaki, Carlos Vives, and Juanes.
