Well, I think two suitcases will be enough. I don’t know much about Colombia so I think I may need a good travel guide with detailed information about the country. I already decided I want to go to Bogota, Medellin and San Andres. These three cities’ weather is very different so I need to buy some warm clothes and some summer clothes. I want to take nice pictures of Colombia to show my family and friends when I get back home so I need to buy a good photo camera. I also need to buy some medicine to use in case I feel sick. Oh! I can’t forget about the gifts. I also need to buy some presents to give Linda and her family. I know Tim likes soccer, so a soccer ball seems to be the perfect gift for him. I don’t know what I should give Linda’s parents. I need to ask Linda about it. Now, let’s have a look at my shopping list Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje - SENA.
