Remember, all the Paraná river region is Yerba Mate kingdom. Sharing saliva while sharing bombillas is mainstream.

LOL. I am running back to South America as soon as I can. But do not waste your time with this debate. When you are an ignorant self centered Gringo, you only see boats fleeing to your amazing democracy.

Really? I have exactly the opposite impression.

Not really, I am just making a deduction from @floridarob's opinion. I do think the blockage is enforced and have dire consequences on Cuba's economy, and I do think that the world has much to work from Cuba's education and health systems. Finding American sodas in the island does not mean the sanctions are not working.

I disagree. However, you are making a strong point against the sanctions. If they are economically ineffective and instead provide the Revolution with a propaganda tool, why to keep them?

Am I just dumb or is this the most cryptic of yours posts ever?

I respectfully disagree. Patriotism is one of the most shameful and laziest values. Too many Gringos are quick to judge other nations flaws, while staying fully blind at their own miseries. Few things are more pathetic than someone not recognizing criticism and bringing up some lame excuse.

So good to know that there is a sound safety plan in place! Otherwise, look at me in December:

This tiny lost for meteorology may turn into a huge jump in his porn career.

I would love to connect. It would be such an honor that you'd change your plans! When you arrive on 30/31, I would already be a veteran, after almost a full week of runaway-slutting.

Like you, I feel like an apprentice next to some friends here. But I want to make very clear that I consider myself a very Proud Runaway Slut.

My apologies. I should hace capitalized Runaway International Slut.

I suggest a theory with no scientific pretension. Just teasing you and @floridarob. Devil's breath may not be an urban myth. It may be real, although the possibilities of being a DB victim may be near zero. However, when you are a runaway international slut, your life experience surely involve samples of even de less probable incidents.

Hello there. Is anyone going to spend the Hollidays in Bogotá? It is going to be my first time in the city and would love to hang out with the connoisseurs. I rented a very small, cozy and cheap 1BR in Chapinero Central.

Hello there. Is anyone spending Thanksgiving in Rio this year? I just rented an airbnb a few blocks away from Point.

Hell no. I am abstinent and have been since I returned from Argentina. I got my first shot last Sunday, and will remain abstinent until two weeks after my second shot, when the vaccine reaches maximum efficacy. At my age, and after being a mass slut for almost 4 decades, taking any risk when I am just weeks away from immunity is nonsense to me (I am sure I would be willing to take more risk without the vaccine prospect.) After my second shot, I will be celebrating my 60th birthday with an overdose of Point 202. I am planning to weeks in Rio in November.

Comparing monkeypox to HIV is indeed scare mongering.

I had the smallpox vaccine several times during my school life and military service back in Argentina. This coming Sunday, I have my appointment to get my first monkeypox vaccine shot. It was super easy to get it here in DC. I am horny and, as in DC the infection rate is high, I am abstinent. I can't wait. I can't wait either for my next trip, in November. Once fully vaccinated, I will start purchasing tickets and making reservations. I am still struggling between Rio and Medellin, but Rio is winning.

Santa Marta is in my list, but probably for when I am already staying in Bogotá or Medellín for several months. I would probably visit for a week or even just a weekend. My curiosity for Cali is evolving in the same direction. I know I just said that one should not get hooked with one destination and instead try different ones in different trips. However, Rio is just too tempting. To make its charms more irresistibly, I just learned that Rhyheim Shabazz will probably be in the city by November. If the situation does not change, everything seems to tell me that I have to spend my Thanksgiving break in Rio.

I know. Rio is calling me. And Medellin too. However, I should explore new destinations in my quest for places to live part of the year after retirement. I am meeting so many hot caleños en internet, that I am tempted to give the city a try. I have not made a decision yet.

I am starting to have doubts about going again to Medellin in November. I am getting tempted by Rio in one hand, and by Cali in the other. Surprisingly, flying to Cali is cheaper than flying to Medellin. My question for the connoisseurs of Colombia, specifically Cali, is: in what neighborhood should I look for my airbnb?
