I love all your photo's, but I got a bit of a chuckle from the one with the lions. I live in an area where there are a great number of Italian families, and it seems for some reason or other all of a sudden a lion will appear in their entry way, either of their driveway or home, I guess where there is a suitable location. I could never figure it out, I'd never even seen these things to purchase. Well one day my little son just happen to notice our neighbors Lion and proceeded to get the facts as he would often say, (he was about 6). It seems when and Italian family pays off their mortgage this is the signal. They are debt free. So I guess Columbia is debt free. I've never been able to look at a lion again without thinking of this. Forgive me for going on, and on. I guess you are enjoying your stay.

What a lovely campus with imposing architecture easily identifiable meeting places with all those statues and little bits of garden to destress with. Nice shots too.
