Colombia (sic) - Oasis

COLUMBIA - OASIS

Just simply change one letter and it fits!

It wasn't realised until well after the event the full effect Colombian man and wife

CONSTANTINO and CONSTANZA

had on me at that lovely family dinner in Kingston upon Thames last Sunday. Not only as knowledgeable, well travelled individuals and a joy to talk with over dinner, but also like myself a member of our now well extended family, since the Australian Division arrived. At the time I decided to dig out some photographs of my travels in their beautiful, diverse and eclectic country, but there have been difficulties. There are so many decent images it has been difficult to decide which to Post, but during this holiday period and more particularly as the weather is predicted to be bad with little to report locally, it looks like Colombia is about to 'star' in at least 3 issues!

These Posts are dedicated to those 2 lovely people and their son Pablo.
