February 15, 2010
The Monday, February 15, 2010, donations to The Talon was collected by some of my cousins \u200b\u200band I in Barranquilla, Colombia. There was no problem, unlike last year (I had to pay for many unnecessary costs!). The city was the center of> their Barranquilla Carnival, declared by UNESCO as a masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage of humanity ", and everyone seemed in good humor, because everyone helped me out.
I left Cartagena on a bus at 6 am and arrived in Barranquilla at 8 am with two cousins. At the bus terminal, we met another cousin, and we all went to the cargo terminal at the International Airport Barranquilla Ernesto Cortissoz. ; In Tampa Cargo office, completing the necessary paperwork, had a customs agent inspecting the donations, and it was! Later he hired a small truck that took us to the terminal, but to save some money, were advised to take the bus on a bridge where buses bound for Cartagena went through. However, there was no place for us all inside the truck, so my cousin and I were forced to stand in the back of the truck with the donations. When we arrived, we had to carry all the boxes on a bus in the middle of the street with temperatures around 90 degrees. The bus driver charged me only $ 40 USD to take all donations to me. When we got on the bus, I was waiting for air conditioning, as most of the buses that travel between cities in Colombia have, but it did not.
About 15 minutes after leaving Barranquilla, an auxiliary bus operator began charging passengers for the trip, and tried to snatch a pair of passengers. The passengers began to discuss with the employee, and everyone started screaming and give their opinions. With the right attitude that identifies the Colombians, with the time everyone started laughing and making jokes about the situation. An hour later, we stopped and had egg arepa. When we made it safely back to Cartagena, we had to bring all the boxes off the bus and wait an hour for a cousin with a large vehicle to get us. After a fun but very tiring day at the end made it back safely with all donations.
