OK, I finished Bogota and ready for the report. I spent 3 days here before 5 in Medellin and now 2 days back before going home. I felt a duty to report on this little-known place and was determined to crack it's hard-to-penetrate shell. From worst to best: Neighborhoods: TEUSAQUILLO-- Just above downtown, from about 35th to 50th Calle, a trendy fashionable neighborhood with embassies and several universities. SAUNAS: CLUB BALTIMORE SAUNA Actually in a hotel (the Maria Isabel). Gets lots of mentions. That doesn't mean it's good. I went in and the entrance was outrageous- like $60 but I was assured it was worth it because they had A (as in one) masseur who was standing in front of me- he was a 2 at best and I did a u-turn. CASA ROMANO SAUNA Has very titallating ads promising sex shows once a week and strippers once a week. In an old mansion next to the Israeli embassy. I went, I paid to get in, and was introduced to the single masseur they had; he looked like a twin of the 2 I was introduced to at Club Baltimore. Two saunas down quick. COMPLICES SAUNA Also deceptively titalating ads. Just because someone's good at html doesn't mean they're also attractive. Not sure this place even has a masseur but no one of the few people I saw there was better than the ones I shunned already. 3 down quick. CHAPERINO- (Known locally as Chapigayo)- The vast GayBorHood of Bogota. From about 50th to 70th Calles. Bogota has about 9 million people and Chapinero has maybe a quarter million. The south side toward 50th is more run down but safe while the north side bordering the "Financial District" has the Hilton and Marriott. The center part around the Theatron nightclub on 58th is so totally gay that straights seem out of place. Dozens of gay bars and nightclubs and saunas and shops from one end to the other. One of those areas where you can sit and just watch the parade of trendy attractive young urban gays (and drool). STARBOYS Not a sauna but a video club (there are several) listed as having masseurs. It doesn't. Small booths with glory holes were all empty although the owner or manager was a really pleasant guy who smiles and chats machine-gun like sweetly even though he knows you don't speak Spanish. SAUNAS: MEDITERRANEO SAUNA- Also very tempting ads. This place didn't just disappoint but totally creeped me out. You're not allowed to wear towels or briefs; you have to be totally nude. You're given a washcloth and told to hold it over your privates. Tiny building with cheap rates; 15K COP admission, 30K 30-minute massages. I'd pay a lot more to get out if I were trapped in. One of the masseurs was a decent young black guy, there was a cute young towel boy, and there was a cute young guy in the jacuzzi with someone but I never got close. The other masseur I met, and who approached me several times, was terribly out of shape, maybe 35, hairy and too pushy. Probably worked at the St. Moritz when he was 25. I wanted to wait and see if there were other masseurs with clients but a customer with really bad teeth, a really bad comb-over, and a face out of Deliverence kept following me and groping. Through the washcloth. An evening here would not have turned out well. Go forewarned. DAGOAS SAUNA I didn't even go in. I approached the desk and got a bad feel plus I had already had sex twice in 2 hours and was tired. It's in the old address of St. Moritz Sauna and that's how I stumbled on it. It advertises entrance plus 30 minute massage for 45K. Might be wonderful. I doubt it. What is wonderful is the blond security guard outside the gay bar next door. Why I went by three times but no contact. BABYLON SAUNA Where the financial district starts. Highly recommended by many people. Great ad. Entrance was 20K COP but it's published massage rates are very reasonable. It's only open from 3pm until 9:30pm (most of the saunas are only open from 1 until 10pm). Ad has photos of 3 masseurs, I only saw 2 of them, not the white one. All the staff and all masseurs are Amero-Indian and very stocic. Not a word. Very nice facilities and one of the half dozen masseurs really appealed to me- a guy with the body of an American football player. Pure beef. Tights like tree trunks. But he kept texting on a cheap old cellphone the whole time I was there and never looked up. Maybe I should have made a move. I didn't. SAINT MORITZ SAUNA Finally ! Gay El Dorado. At least a half-dozen masseurs. All white (as opposed to Babylon's all native). The friendly towel boy checking you in is cute as a button. The shy 18-yr old manning the bar is one of the cutest guys I've ever seen but doesn't massage. From his expensive braces and expensive designer t-shirt I'd say he's kept well by someone, probably the owner, but will be turned out to massage in a year or so. As soon as I get through the door I'm approached by a tall masseur with big pectorals with an offer for total release massage for 40K. Hairy guy with short hair who looks like the photo to the right on boytoy. Once my eyes go down I notice he's not exactly a six-pack tummy. Very slight lovehandles. Big nipples. Then another guy just like him approaches. Both 25-30 and hairy and very pectorally. Then I notice two more like them. Finally I meet with a shorter guy with no body hair, a nice tatoo of an angel wing, totally smooth skin, the firmest butt I've ever seen, a six pack and hard pectorals and biceps. He wants 150K COP for "Complete", 70K for Basic. That's high for Columbia. What I learn the hard way is St Moritz does not have published rates like every other sauna and you're dealing directly with the masseaur who gets 100% directly from you. Deal with masseurs at St Moritz the way you would with prepagos in negotiations. I talk him down to 120K COP for "Complete" but later learn that doesn't include (from him) any oral other than kissing and certainly no anal. Still it was well worth $48 US for the lengthy hand-job and French kissing from such a stunner. He dresses immediately to go out as I guess he's made a lot of money for him. I go to shower. In spite of St Mortiz being big and very very nice I discover the shower is tiny and has only tepid water on hot. I go out and joke about it to the shy perfect 18 yr old bartender. He tells me I should have gone to a shower upstairs. I hit on him again. He considers it a compliment and grins huge but explains, no, he doesn't. Ever. His smile alone is enough. If I were here longer I would concentrate on Grindr- I've gotten 49 messages in 2 days in spite of having no photo- just "Daddy" as a name and "visiting from USA" in description. Also I would work the cute bellhop in my hotel who's winking at me now on my last day, and I'd work the streets in Chapigayo. And I'd return to Babylon and St. Moritz a lot, and check out some of the other couple dozen saunas and Theatron. THEATRON I didn't go. It's not open Monday or Tuesday and opens at 9 or 10 other days. It costs $13 US admission including unlimited volka drinks but I don't drink. Theatron is the largest gay nightclub in South America. In an old theater building it has 10 bars. Everyone on CB in Columbia I asked and everyone in Medellin I asked for suggestions just said all I need to do is go to Theatron- anything I want I'll find at Theatron. Anything. My flight's at 9am and I'm off to bed. Ciao Columbia.

Hmmm, perhaps he should try "Dancing with the Vac Pump " ?

Actually ....Chima's boundless buffet. Kinda like Betty's only not as good.

I access CB through SexFlexible but everyone has their own backdoor in. I've used Citi virtual accounts for internet transactions for years. Especially ones where I don't want any "auto-renew". I usually access it through the downloaded program instead of online. CB requires a lot of self control but the Columbian rooms are unusually generous in providing free live sex acts without "ticket shows" or "goals" etc. Most of the people in the room are "grays" , meaning they don't have any tokens. I "mod" (moderate) for a couple of the hottest single guys, one of whom hasn't been on for a couple months but lives close to me and the other is a sweet Romanian who's just too much work. Everyone talks about the good looks and sexual prowness of the Columbian guys who often do duos or 3-way shows. Most are from Medellin.

Incredible info, Gracias Tassojunior!

You are absolutely correct. After posting, I went to get dinner, and while driving I realized that this BS about being a martyr and wanting to die was just a smoke screen. Just as you mention, I thought about all the times that day and night, he had the opportunity to go out in a blaze of gun fire for all the world to see, and he didn't. Every action he took was to try and save himself. And your point is well made about Boston.

MsAnn, Derschowitz is playing a rhetorical trick on you. His purpose is to argue against the death penalty in furtherance of which he posits a scarecrow terrorist panting for his full share of the virgins of Paradise. The real life fellow had every opportunity to die that night. Even at the end, all he had to do was poke his pistol out from under the boat tarpaulin and fire off a couple of rounds at random. Poof--- instant death by cop. ==== Igoo, the poll you cite indicates 59% favor executing Tsarnaev. Six out of 10 is a mite short of 12 out of 12. I'm not saying that the Feds don't have a better chance in this case than, say, your average rape murdering, cannibalistic pederast case, only that a better chance is not the same as a sure thing.

And, according to the article, two kitchens! As with all else, she may have kept kosher in style.

Has to be a typo. November is a few more days away. Regardless, you guys have fun. Best regards, RA1

Betty's Boundless Buffet®, I'll bet.

Sadly, no, but here's a Photoshop while we're waiting.

Hey Calli, here's some Sincere advice..... now that you've broken up my and MsAnn'sact, why dont you and Zippy take YOUR act on the road ???? Maybe you can find a long and winding DIRT road, or perhaps take it up the Hershey Highway ? Grandma Knows Best

"Killer" being the operative...... Gee, thanks "Queen of Retorts".... Goodnite FELICIA !

Well we've heard from Tweedle Dee, but once again, up pops Tweedle Dum, not making any sense with his pointed remark.... Proofread Girl, Proofread ! CALLIP ZIPPY

Well I learned from YOU to stick my 2 cents into places they arent wanted and dont belong..... Perhaps if you dont want people up in your ASS, maybe you shouldnt be all up in theirs ? BTW, I was gonna post more asshole pics tonight, but couldnt find a pic of YOU..... But in the spirit of hatred, this ones for YOU. (A pretty good likeness of you, dont you think ?) But, I digress.......

How else will he "get" his "promised" virgins? Of course, he could easily be one with a life sentence. At least for a short time. Best regards, RA1

Token resistance!

Actually, either spelling of too/two could be correct in this case but what does it matter because you are entirely intent upon calling others names. Best regards, RA1

Joanie had a maid and a butler for that. (She really did.)

Potatoe, Patato...... Gurl, you just too Semantical......!

Being pleased about understanding another human being and being pleased about not being confused are too entirely different things. Best regards, RA1

It cant help but strike me that YOU are not so much a savior as a troublemaker.... Not exactly sure WHY all this bothers you so much? And, are you now JC over at Daddy's ????
