The Colombian Crowd
The summer before I graduated from
Purdue University I had the chance to go to Colombia to work at the
International Center for International Agriculture. Localized in the
city of Cali, the center was not only a wonderful place to work, but
was staffed by a great group of people. Full of the charm and beauty
that I had experienced all over South America, the group of people
that made up the laboratory I worked at made one want to go to work
every day.
It is no surprise then that when
the time came for me to leave, I felt as if I was leaving the place
were I belonged, and not going back to the lab I originally came
from. From the daily experiences and work discussions, to the parties
and trips that took us all over the "Valle", it was a summer that I
will never forget.
