my wife and I are 47 years old both of us are u.s. citizens and Colombian citizens. we both left Colombia at the age of 7 and never went back. about 25 years ago we went to visit the abuelos(grand parents) and fell in love with Colombia. we now want to retire in Colombia ( Medellin/ Bogota) we have three kids the oldest 22 years old (he will not be coming with us he is married and with a baby on the way) our other two boys age 9-11 are going to Colombia with us.

Best of luck ojbarberena! Who needs "coca" when Colombia is, in herself, the most powerful drug on which you can be addicted? ;-)

YES !! grandma lives with us and they speak Spanish with her. we try to speak as much Spanish as possible. reading and writing in Spanish is another story.
