Hello!
Today I am writing to tell you a funny story. These things happen when you are travel and have time!
few days ago we reached a village called Barichara, in the heart of Colombia. A particularly beautiful and tranquil place, where we spent a couple of days Culturilla, long walks and relaxation. Barichara architecture is very similar to the old English towns. The village is full settler influence in every corner! Upon arrival we stayed in a family house, a cute site, with its small patio and cozy interior. And then we sat at the table to eat some fruit we had co 
mprado before reaching the village. In the same table where we sat, sat the village priest, Monsignor José Antonio Arenas Prada and immediately struck up a long conversation. Our trip, the church's role in society today, the English today, as before, those who arrived on the peninsula claiming lands granted by the Viceroy, and much more. And talking talking, he tells me, for my grandfather, Don Javier Arenas was one of the first English ships with my great grandmother Mary OSÉS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I hit a jump from the table that I could not even believe. I was speechless and very nearly lost him the respect of man because we .... do not believe nor Osés tato Mary arrived on a boat in 1700 ....

I was speechless and very nearly lost him the respect of man because we .... do not believe nor Osés tato Mary arrived on a boat in 1700 .... We started talking about the name Osés (for you to be lost at this point, I clarified that my mother is OSÉS and besides I have a cousin named Mary Osés, which certainly love her and I send a big kiss!) . That if the aristocracy, if Navarra, if the shield and many more. We were at 30 degrees and me with goose bumps! 
After the nice chat, invited us later by his house and we did. It has a beautiful house, perfectly preserved in the entire history of the family. Paintings, oil paintings, furniture, lamps, vases, dishes, and endless articles all brought from Europe by ship in his day. We were explaining how they got there. More than 3 months of boat, then more than 3 months to reach these people. MIRRORS WITH GIANT AND ARRIVAL!! How can it be? I load a boat to the bars of objects understand it, but transporting animals by road to taaaaaaaaaaaaan away, so hard to believe me!
Among the items he showed me his great-grandfather's diary, where mention of Mary Osés, explains the details of the trip, and a myriad of things. The logbooks of ships arriving from Spain. A book of all the English people arrived by boat to Colombia all crossings, ascending and descending. He showed us a family tree of over 300 huge, hand-made and impressive detail. was an incredible afternoon, a trip to the past, then culture, customs of the aristocracy of yesteryear.
And no, I'm telling you because I made a lot of grace and yet aware that a Osés illusion came to this town for over 300 years!!
We have more adventures to tell, but I'm hoping that Uschi put the batteries and type. Is more uncertain than ever with the blog! And you insist that much now that we have more time!
