Yesterday, I went to Colombia and saw the Andes mountains which is the longest mountain range in the world. Also, when I was on my trip in Colombia I got to go to one of the wettest regions on earth, the Pacific Coast. Bogota is a city in Colombia, it is so pretty at night there are a lot of lights especially when you see far away it is literally the best city in Colombia.


Colombia has been modernizing its telecommunications. Today it possesses a modern digital telephone network, employing satellite and microwave links and two fiber optic trunk routes, covering the country with 8 million fixed lines, and served by 29 local and three long-distance operators. The country has five networks with 6 million mobile phones, which in 2003 grew by 35% in comparison with the previous year. By 2004, market penetration had equaled that of fixed lines. As a result of the need to liberalize communications and attract foreign investment, two of the five o
operators are multinational companies.

COLOMBIA

    Over the summer I went to Colombia. It was the most amazing place I've ever been. While I was there I visited the Pico Cristobal Colon, which is the highest mountain in Colombia. It has a whopping height of about 18,700 feet. On he top of the mountain there were two rams battling it out and one was much bigger than the other, they were getting really close to the edge...and, well the big one pushed the little one off. When I was on my way down, near the bottom there was a village cooking something that smelled really good, and as I walked up to see what it was , I found out it was the ram that got pushed over the edge! It was not a good day for that ram.

      In Colombia they have some unique food and clothing. Most Columbians have a western style clothing. Some of the upper class people wear things like dark colored suits, while farmers and lower class people wear loose shirts or pants. Food is different in the different regions of Colombia. In one area I ate a roasted ant, and someone offered me a guinea pig, but I didn't want to try anything to weird. But, what is really unique is that in other regions they wouldn't even touch those type of meals.

      At the end of our trip we went to the Capital of Colombia, Bogota. It is in a weird place. It is 8646 feet high in the Andes mountain. It is a beautiful city with everything including, churches universities, theaters, and Shantytowns, whatever those are.

Today arrived in Chile and I went to Easter Island and saw the big stone heads. my tour guide was jumping up and down all over the place and accidentally bumped a head and it nocked a big line of them over. the cops showed up and blamed it on me because the tour guide took off  after he hit them down. the cops took me in for questioning but then realized I didn't do it so he released me.

On my trip to Colombia I saw many amazing things. First I went to the beach. I saw so much wild life. I saw fish, sharks, whales, stingrays, and lots more other sea life. All that hot sand on the beach burned my feet. Colombia had lots of huts with other types of food and drinks I didn't even no of. I have got to say, that the Colombian beach was a big part of my trip.

I recently just got back from my trip to Peru. It was lots of fun. I traveled all over going on tours of various destinations. One of my favorites was the tour of the Amazon River. Our guide told us that it is the second longest river in the world! One poor guy dropped his iPhone 6 in the water and didn't have insurance for it. He jumped in after it to find it. I don't know if he actually ended up getting it. I never saw him return. Anyways I got a lot of really cool pictures!

So today I flew all the way to Quito. Quito is the capital city of Ecuador. I saw many weird clothes that people wore. they looked very different then what we wear in united states. what was also weird was the food they ate. it was no heat up a pizza in the oven it was cook the pig over the fire.

Next I flew to Zamora. Its a very little town. Its surrounded by huge mountains! To walk from side of the city to the other would take about 10-15  minutes. All I ate there was mostly beans and rice. I bet that's why they are all skinny because that's all they eat.

But my favorite time was the helicopter ride to Loja. When we flew over it was way different from Zamora! This place was 4 times the size! These people were living right next to each other. there was no gap between each house. also the streets we paved unlike dirt roads I Zamora. But still only beans and rice.
