Introduction

I was born in Germany, 65 years ago, married a Colombian girl in 1980. We lived 4 Years in Berlin and moved to Medellin 1984. Our daughter was born here, tried to live off the land in El Santuario, when that failed moved to Medellin/Envigado, worked as Production Manager in 2 different Colombian companies. In 1989 we left, when Pablo Escobar threatened all foreigners. We spent 6 months in Germany, just when the wall came down and in May 1990 moved to Australia, where I worked as a Hospital Engineer in Sydney and became Australian Citizen. Now I am retired, living once again in Envigado and starting to travel this beautiful country with the so overwhelmingly friendly people. The villages of Antioquia are 'hermosos', love it!!!
