more peace

I decided to go to church with my mom today instead of my usual church because I had heard that there were gonna be some Colombian women visiting and I wanted to meet them. I got to talking to them and found out a little bit more about where I will be. They told me that the town I am gonna be in is a safe town, in a valley surround by the Andean mountains with temperatures in the upper 70's-lower 80's year round. Here is some information about the Andes mountain range I will be living in. Kinda makes the Rockies look like hills

Andes Mountains

The Andes Mountains (an deez) are the longest chain of mountains stretching along the entire west coast of South America from Cape Horn to Panama and Venezuela for a distance of 4,500 miles (7,200 kilometers). This second highest Mountain Range (Only the Himalaya of northern India and Tibet are higher ) have many peaks rise over 20,000 feet. The chain is about 400 miles (645 kilometers) wide across its widest part.
