Culture shock isn't really something I'm worried about, I'm only a second generation American when it comes to my mother's side. Most of my life I've been within bike riding distance of my grandparents(albeit they live up a very steep hill), my grandmother's Colombian accent was the norm for me, my pediatrician was a Colombian family friend, I've eaten a considerable amount of Colombian Cuisine as it is, heard plenty of the music(though not enough to notice the nuances between Colombian music and other Latin American music), seen plenty of the art.

But yeah now that I'm back home after showing off the house I've called and talked to my father, I'm going to tell them yes. Just as soon as I can get a hold of them.

In the meantime I have this interesting specimen of a huge ant swimming around in a mug of water right next to me(I put it there on purpose). It's floating quite nicely on top of the water, seems to be relying on surface tension a bit, like a water bug would. The thing I especially like about this view is since water is liquid and transparent I can really get a good look at it's legs in action, unlike if it was walking around and has its legs underneath.
