Travel Tales From a Colombian Abroad
I have been twice to the Grand Canyon and it never ceases to amaze me. I found it even more impressive the second time. It’s a place in which you feel tiny, a place “outside” of this world – literally since you feel like you’re on Mars or another planet – and makes you realize just how huge the Earth is.
One of my favorite pastimes and that of many people in the Southeast region of France is hiking in the mountains. A couple of weeks ago, we decided to hike La Rhune, a summit from which you can see the Atlantic Ocean and cities like: Saint Jean De Luz and Hendaye on the French side, and Hondarribia in the Spanish side.

This past weekend I finally had the opportunity to go to Bordeaux for my first time. The actual reason we went was to see Muse play that Thursday night at a festival, Garo Rock, near Bordeaux in Marmande. Our plan was to rent a house though Airbnb, and sleep close to Marmande the night of the concert; then the following day head to Bordeaux to spend the rest of the weekend there.
