The gwarro effect....!

I thought you lot might be amused by this. This is a wonderfully taken sequence of photos of me during a trip to Guatape with my good friend Alex. Guatape is known as the lake region and is not too far from Medellin...Pretty little tourist spot known for the MASSIVE boulder / mountain which you can climb, the canopy zip lines that scream accross the lake and the booze cruises.

Well the booze cruise is quite special really...cheap and trashy colombian music (think Bokjol 2000 for an SA equivalent) is blasted out to a crowd of Colombian middle-to-upper classers who are all convinced that they are being classy by getting trashed on a cheap barge with plastic chairs and even cheaper alcohol. Yes people, this is the kind of stuff that gets me up in the mornings: my mom always said that any type of class that might have been inherent in my family somehow found a way of passing me by completely, hence my affinity for sniffing out trashy events where I feel the most at home...and I even felt a tad sofisticated during this particular adventure!

Please note the trepidation, as well as the super-smooth plastic tot glasses!

We don't drink alcohol for the taste right?
