Colombia 2020 Pereira Cartagena Santa Marta


get off the bus. Now we’re walking somewhere. I don’t really know where we’re walking. I look like we’re walking to nowhere. There is a better view about the landscape. We can see they’re all warmed up North here in the morning yesterday, I was looking at some coffee and he’d be in his hotel.
We decided to take a walk tonight, tricked me into taking a walk downtown, got in the wall city behind it right here. Drawing more people out than this way.


So we’re going to go inside and walk around and show you the wall at times.


So over here we got the award drives. You can take some more thrive. What’s it look like then over here, The hard rock cafe, and then we also have nice little church right there. And I think there’s another little bar up there. So if you don’t like all the loud music and things, there’s other parts and parts of the annual night life where it’s more, more of a lounge atmosphere,


Nelson Mandela Daniel’s house. Little later we walked around the corner and you literally,


So we’re here in Nelson Mandela. Joe’s neighborhood Danielle’s neighborhood.


Okay.


So like I was telling him, this is, I mean, it’s like Africa in the sense


To where it could still look over here. And then you look over here to the other parts and you’d have to go to drawn Dale there. Then you can look on this side, you can see the church on the Hill and then more parts of the city. Uh, we’ll do those small little videos like this throughout the parts of the castle. As you can see, it’s pretty old. And, uh, they were telling us, like I was telling him before the Africans made this. So people like us made this castle. So he was trying to explain which Shadi English that, uh, it’s important for us to know the history of Castillo San Felipe Bay. Not just know that it’s here while we’re at the castle. We’re up on the second and third floor. You look up there, you have the little bell, maybe it’s a church bell, maybe it’s alarms, then what’s cool.


The reason I wanted to take a video right here is, I don’t know. Maybe it’s not cool to use. Cool to me. So imagine, you know what I’m saying? You’re getting attacked by somebody, something, then you run down your little holes and then this is where they fire their gun, not the cannons, but the individual people with them, with the muskets or whatever they had back in those days. Let’s see what’s over there. Oh, so it’s just one big circle. All right. So what we did, so I get what they’re doing now. It’s like one big circle. So we walked in, they made us walk up to the field right here and we ended up there and we walked down this little park and now we’re going to go around the corner. So I guess we’ll walk around the corner.


So this is a great bite right here. The wall city over here, obviously that’s the wall I’m guessing. I mean, you have water there. Grande’s over there. And so I got, I mean, this is a great vantage point, cause you can literally see everything coming and going. So you see the Canon is facing over there. So I guess talking about the size of the Canon, I guess I’m still not, I’m not really believing it. I’m sorry. I don’t maybe 400 years ago it served a great purpose, but I don’t see, I don’t see how this is really going to weigh out there. Maybe. I don’t know. It is a distance to the water. I mean, we’re coming up on the, on the castle. Yeah, I see it. But I’d like to see what it looked like actually during 400 years ago. Cause I, I think there has to be way more.


There’s something, that’s not something that’s missing because they’re saying it’s great engineering and everything like that. I’m not, I’m not sold on these. Not yet. I mean, it’s a big castle and everything, but then again, um, it’s a castle. What? Cause I like what what’s in here. So all they’re showing us is kind of like the outside. So I’m not, I don’t know. What’s the castle for what right. Did you use? You know, you got a castle and you live in the castle or something, but it’s very difficult for me to understand what the purpose of this is. I understand it’s a stronghold on a mountain, but other than that, like what serves its purpose as we’re kind of finishing up the tour largest cannon balls I got right here. When you look out there, right? What are they firing now? Cause there’s nothing but a mountain right there. So like I said, I’m not buying the story that they’re trying to sell here. They’re not letting us inside the castle. All they did is just let us walk on like the outer, outer parts of it. It was very difficult to actually know.


Well the day, no point in spending money on a taxi, when you can just walk, walk and get back. If you want to go out on the Lake and you can rent a boat for however long you’re on the water, come on down and party on the water right now.

Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas


Look over here, look over here. Then you can look on this side. You can see the church on the Hill. We’ll do those small little videos like this throughout the parts of the castle. As you can see, it’s pretty old. And, uh, they were telling us, like I was telling you before the Africans made this. So people like us made this castle. So he was trying to explain which Shadi English that, uh, it’s important for us to know the history of Castillo. Sanfilippo not just know that it’s here while we’re at the castle. We’re up on the second or third floor. You look up there, you have a little belt, maybe it’s a church bell, maybe it’s alarm, then what’s cool. The reason I wanted to take a video right here is maybe it’s not cool to use called me so mad and attacked by somebody. Something burned down are done, not the cannons muskets or whatever.


Just one big circle. All right. So what we did, yeah. What they’re doing now, they’re just, it’s like one big circle. So we walked in, they made us walk up to them and we ended up there and walked down this far and now going to go around the corner. So I guess we’ll walk [inaudible], I’m guessing. I mean, you have water there, but the garden is over there. I guess this is a great vantage point. Cause you can literally see everything. [inaudible] the canons probably went a lot farther than what I’m imagining, but I’m imagining you’d have to have a hell of a big cannon from here all the way to the water over there.


kind of difficult, but all right, let’s go 10 and then over there. So I guess talking about the size of the Canon, I don’t know, maybe 400 years ago it served great. [inaudible] I like to see what it looks like actually during [inaudible] that’s missing because they’re saying great engineering and everything like that. I’m not, I’m not, I’m not sold on big castle and everything, but then again, it’s a castle for what? Cause I like what it was. This is kind of like the outside capital, right? You got a castle. I live in the castle or something, but it’s very difficult. Understand what the purpose of this is to understand it pulls on her mouth. But other than that, as we kind of finishing up tour, the largest cannon falls I got right here.


When you look out there, right. They firing now. Cause there’s nothing but a mountain right there. So like I said, I’m not buying the story that they’re trying to sell here because they had not letting us inside the castle. All they did is just let us walk on that. Like the out outer parts of it. So it was very difficult to see that. Yeah, I actually know what’s going on. And every other castle, you’re trying to defend yourself against like water. You’re not trying to defend yourself. Right. So I’m confused because there’s all the defenses are thinking this way when the water is this way. So I’m very confused on what is the purpose, because if they’re trying to defend the water, that’s very confusing. I don’t know. It doesn’t make any sense. I doesn’t make any sense. All right.

Cartegena at Night


We decided to take a walk tonight, kind of tricked me into taking a walk. So this is downtown. You got to walk behind it right here. [inaudible] and then there’s more people out this way. So we’re going to go inside and walk around the walls on a typical night.

the hard rock cafe market. And then we also have nice little church right there. And I think there’s another little bar up there. So if you don’t like all the loud music and things, there’s other parts and parts in your night life where it’s more, more of a lounge atmosphere.

How To Be Touched By God, Without Preachers Who Have Never Left The City


There you go on his way to Israel. It’s not leaving Asheville right now, driving myself down to Charlotte. I’m saying, wish me luck. Y’all make sure that I make it down there and say, no. Uh, no chop was yadda. I mean, well, I guess I’ll check in what you want to get down to the airport. Um, it’s kinda sucky as much as spelled monster all over my pants. The only pair of pants I have until I get to Israel and they’re wet with endgame, be sticky with monster all over them. That sucks. It’s all over me. I’m sitting there while I’m paying attention, having a good time, my shirt and my hand, you know what I’m saying? Groove into the music and this hand bow knocks. It turns it all over, all over my pants, all over my crotch area, all over everywhere.


I see we started at, uh, eight o’clock in the morning. Now we’re on finally on our way to Tel-Aviv actually they said 10 hours. I say 11, couple more drinks. And it’d probably be like four hours to me. Cause I ended up drinking. Now all of them falling asleep, five hours gone. I’ll be up in a minute. Let me check back in with you guys. When I get there mental note, this is the first time I’ve ever done. This has been pretty victorious. I feel kind of stupid. I have no tags on my bag. Not at all. I don’t even barely know what my bag looks like. There goes my sister, my sister’s friend. You know what I’m saying? I’m here. Customs through Israel was absolutely nothing. Coming back to America. I might have more problems. Uh, she wants to take a picture of it. So here we go. I just was informed that uh, Mount Carmel. No, no. If you guys can really see it Mount Carmel with all that stuff were there. I know that some kind of wait a minute, y’all got every kind of fruit out here, every kind of fruit. That’s our driver right there. Every kind of fruit of every kind of fruit. Everything is out here. We’ve got all lives. I don’t really know how, because they got good. Wait a minute. I guess we are tropical. We are topically.


This is Chavez. This is, let me explain it my way. It’s tropical topically in the desert because how can you not say he’s tropical care and you got Palm trees everywhere. No. Then that’s jungle tropical desert,


My trick to it. So that’s sitting there explaining my videos. Uh, we actually planned having my sister talk cause I was like a week before. I was like, yeah, that’d be crazy. If we had someone from like different places call in. Cause the first time we did it was with Allen. I had an epiphany. I was like, yeah, we’re going to have someone call in. And so then it brings everyone together more. And then like five minutes before this, before she called I, we had just gotten off the phone from California talking about the same exact quotes. And then I, I broke it down even a little bit more of those quotes, the same quote. I mean, you’ll hear him in a minute is I have people. I actually rap about them. Clothes, put music behind them and then they started rapping about them. So this offer to close to this kind of prison. So this is everybody right now. They’re all enjoying the video and eating cupcakes. We just ate some spaghetti, no lasagna. Excuse me. And we’re watching the video with


. I met some, some really cool people tonight.


Well, this isn’t very much of a beach. This is what they call it. A beach out here versus the sand. Where’s the wind. It ain’t nothing. Nothing at all. This is rocks. Well, that’s the Mediterranean guys. Alright. I’m already a little out of breath. I just walked up this Hill. Can’t really see it’s a Hill and walk to the very top of the Hill came and see the top. I’m going to show you the first little part and I’m going to go through, you see it. You see that big shrine in the middle. Yeah. That’s half what I am now halfway. Yeah. This is a better view of the second half I had to stop right here. Cause he listened Claire. She looked carefully, um, way in Israel. Right? And I can hear chimney. I liked the way you do it right there. Listen, it’s coming from that direction. I liked that when you do it right there. Well, I made it to the top. This is what I’m doing. We’re rolling. These tarp, these carpets,


The video


That goes Peter right there.


I guess


I hear a whole bunch of Laura. I was wondering what it was now. I no longer have to wonder there are peacocks. So this is where the, how loud was, what? This is where he stayed. This is where he stayed. But it’s not that small of a house. He made it seem like it was a little shack here. This is a house. This was bigger. Is this is not that bad. We get to go in time.


No, yeah, go in. You’re on pilgramage next year.


We’ll first set up.


So this is the mill they’re going to restore. One of them is going to be working.


Okay. So Kara, explain what you were explaining to me about the tides. So where the conversation started with how everything is financed, because this is it’s pretty a big project right here that, uh, it was pretty big. I actually, I asked my sister, how, how did they finance everything? And she said that what

It’s all from donations from the Bahais around the world. And so each behind contributes to the high fund, you know, however much they want. In addition to that, there’s the lawful hula, which is basically that everybody has, um, their income. And if you earn at least I think it’s something like the equivalent of a thousand dollars a year or something. What you do is you pay all of your basic necessities. And so let’s take, let’s take something easy, like a hundred dollars. Let’s say all of your basic necessities, which are food, clothing, school, anything that you must pay is shelter, shelter, all of the very necessities of life. Let’s say that takes up of your hunt of your a hundred dollars. Let’s say that takes up $50. And then you have $50 of play money. This is what you used to go on vacation. This is what, you know, your extra money, right? Non-expensive so of that $50 that you have extra money, you give 19% of that to the behi. Um, you give that as a payment to the high community for Hubble, blah, and you pay it to the center here in Haifa. And then they use it for the development of the Holy places and preservation of all these homes.


Now we’re on our way to Bazi


Place of delights,


Ron Norway to Bazi, explain where we’re going.


Um, we’re going to the shrine of Baha’ullah, which is the resting place of the founder of the Bahai faith. And it is, uh, Eric’s first visit ever. And that is not rude and it’s no ruse the behind new year. So we’re very delighted to have him here with us at this most special time. So here we are, we’re at the bachelor visit


Talk normal. I was like, I can not be


Okay. So this is a bachelor visitor center and you can see right through here. People are right now breaking the fast, which has been going on for 19 days for sunup to sundown. And tonight is that even the, um, behind new year, this is the bachelor visitor center is where behind pilgrims and visitors will come to, you know, take refreshment and use the facilities before they go to the shrine. And mainly a gathering point. People will come to study and read books and stuff.


And Jared, it’s all on Carolina, blue and white.


Good. I know we have to keep the Concourse in higher, the souls that have ascended to heaven. And they are a certain chosen group among them who basically their mission is to kind of watch out and guide the people on this earth. And so they see that the Concourse in high circles around this most Holy spot in North, because the Bahais believe this spot is the most Holy spot. And so it’s full of spiritual, potency and power. And um, through the fact that the whole, his remains are here and that he’s here and everything, it makes it a very, very intensive.


You heard it first, but to millions across the world, this is a dream come true. We’re sitting there watching the sun rise.


Walk one time, take your friends and girlfriends come in Israel. And very nice. Yeah.


When was the last time you saw the sun rise? Sunrise every morning. Well, I hope you enjoyed that video if you did. And you want to learn more about my trip when I was in Israel. Yeah. So if you want to learn more, there’s the book.

Chocolate And Ghana


All right. Wait a minute. So what we’re gonna do, we’re gonna show the process of what’s going on. This is a banana leaf. There’s some Cocos there’s during my night. So what we do, Oh my God, this in mine, we got his house. It’s faster when you have a catalyst, right. When you’re more experienced. So that is, so then I go grab one of these or you can do it that way in begging against the tree. Hmm. So basically just the process, right? Linking the pods. You had the whole PBL about eight or 10 years right here. We’ll keep faking it. Well, it’s breaking a board and then pulling the cocoa beans on the leaves. And then after we carried it all in the basket and they take into the city into the village and go and dry it, right? Oh, you do. That’s it. There we go. So this, after about a week or a week and a half, it’s going to dry and then nobody new, fresh night is when is that? This can eat it. Well, I mean, it’s not going to be first like this, dry it up, take this out. And now the beans dry up the way you see the coffee beans and other beans in the moon. So it’s pretty same. That’s the process of having a done.

Now you’d go insane. This is my new friend. I don’t know why it came to me now. I’m blind in the bird. Now you see that. Look at the, I gold. This bad came to me for a reason. He can wear a message. He doesn’t even want to go back and look at that. Okay. It’s actually not used to this, but let’s see if you had any, I struggled to free itself. I love you too. I don’t even have a message from you going to tell him you want to talk to my ears. I talked to you, what is it? Oh, we’re going to make a whole lot of money this year. Wow. How are you going to make that? Knowing that no one here that just talked to me. Oh, really true. The gold. Oh, I believe that I believe, but the Burton [inaudible] you see? Do you want my bird to fly is easy that you see that it doesn’t want dad. And that’s the one dad who wants to be like kids. You see, you see over here. No, if she was banished out of my eyes, I would have left it.


She not playing with me like a dog, another tattoo. It’s the tongue. And that’s the only way he could touch you. You’re good. You’re good. You’re good. You’re good. You’re good. I think the flashlight it’s her eyes. Yep. No, no. You’re good, please. Your beak. I got you. Right? So we’ve got the of God and the animal talker. You better watch the bedroom. Not because he likes dogs too. Yeah, I’m a dog. If you’re ever in trouble, you know what I’m saying? And you pray, you pray hard enough. God will send me. But if you ever need to help with animals and you need motor attended talks to, to talk to Joe, because Joe talks to animals as you, when the bed is few to me and you’re phase, right? Yeah. Try to put him down. Try to put them down again. The, the bird doesn’t want to go. Okay. No, no easy. Easy. It won’t go anywhere. We’ll come back. I’ll go grab it.

The Greatest Reason In The World To Make A Difference In The World


Any which way there. Okay. It’s just ugly now, but we’ll just get to the point. Why Joe blinds, everybody. All right. So we discussed a whole bunch, you know, we got the Kaizen way, we got different ways and different methods of, of, you know, the way I’ve tried to explain and how to do different things and the step by step process. Right. So I’m gonna ask you a question five years ago, when I was out here, do you think I would be able to sleep outside and come to your village? You wouldn’t why Joe, because would I even spend the night at your house five years ago? Okay. So a lot of people don’t understand what going to the farm and pack lit I was doing. Right? So a lot of things is training, right? So over the last five years, in order for me to come here and to be able to go into the Bush and be able to feel comfortable and build my immune system to be able to do it is through training.


Right? So when everything that you do in life, you have to train yourself, right? So over the last few years, as Joe knows, pretty well, snows live on a farm. And then I was living in a rundown house, right? So the reason I was driven on the farm, in the burned down house, and so that I would be accustomed to being uncomfortable. Right? And so by living in those environments and not always eating the cleanest food and not always being the cleanest, it allowed me to be able to come to an environment like this and feel completely natural and comfortable. So when everybody thinks, Oh, Erik just wear clothes, everyone does that. There’s always a rang to a reason. It’s never just because I do it for no reason. It’s always an extra strategy or there’s always a reason on why I’m doing something. So everything that you do or somebody else does always have a reason on why you’re doing it. Right. Because I mean, where I’m looking.


Yeah.


How many of y’all could sit there and take it out here and feel comfortable? No,

About two minutes ago, we headed towards the top are where the mines and the diamond mines are right now. And that’s what you. Make money on the bus. Very small bus trip. I do torture.


miserable for an hour and a half sitting here listening. gospel. [inaudible] can’t you can’t see what would you want to see by this time? We’ll bring all this out in the middle of the Boonie Boonie for real, not light at all. I swear to God, I get my [inaudible] typical shape with idiots has had to get off the bus. Don’t know where he is now when people do stupid. Yeah. The early bird catches the early worm. You have to fast eight 30. We’re not that early. Yeah. We early because some other kind of mystery walking by white, keep on falling at towards low-cost right. We can see, we got that little safety vest. So we looked like workers and everything. We’re trying to blend yeah. Yeah. That’s my, my granny. And that is Jerry Johnson out here in the bushes. And we’re at the refinery right now. It’s a small one.


Now that you can see the glitter because of the flashlight. So now we’re discussing the business. You guys ever watched the other videos of Eric and Joe buying a bike kind of same thing. All right, Joe, explain what the we’re going to do. We all have very much right now. We don’t have too much cash in us. We just come in. This is more or less like a test drive. We’re just coming to buy a few nuggets and then a few finished products. Right? And when we buy that, we see what we could be going to make out of that. We, we, we know we end up, we’ve taken chances, but we not taking chances because we are here buying the thing. High kite is actually 20, 23, 21 carts. Right? So buying they’re already finished and processed the one day we find one and then we bind the nuggets, but this is just a test drive. So we just buying a little and then we go the back. If we came back today or tomorrow probably take too long next year. Yes. But tomorrow we leave first thing in the morning. Boom. You know what I’m saying? We don’t


Wait until it’s


Bloody horn out here. So that is it. You’re going to see us. The next video you’re going to see is there’s a little,
