| Are you coming or going? |
As you can see, I did a lot of entering and exiting the country that year — one clearly wasn't as concerned about one's carbon footprint compared to today.
Give Colombia a lash!
I flew into Bogotá in June for a couple of weeks en route to take a voluntary journalist position in Santiago de Chile, then came back in September for another brief visit as part of my journey back to Ireland for a family wedding.'Right now, I'm unsure where I'll be in ten days, never mind 10 years, as my current visa expires on 27 November.'
Yet
the decision to come back to Colombia on this day in 2011 to, as I put
it at the time, give living a lash here, was a game-changer.
It
perhaps wasn't as ground-breaking a moment as that when a very verdant
version of myself landed in Rio de Janeiro almost exactly three years
earlier, 25 November 2008 (see 'Wrong Way' begins for more on that), but it
was an important milestone nonetheless.
In effect, it was the
start of this current Plan Colombia. I couldn't really hazard a guess as
to where I will and want to be ten years hence, if I'm still lucky
enough to be alive and kicking.
Indeed, as I write, I'm unsure where I'll be in ten days' time,
with my current visa expiring on 27 November. Siempre hay algo, there's
always something (to be done), as they say in these parts.
