Santa Leon - capital of Mesias
Here we are in Santa Leon, the capital of the South American nation of Mesias. Once a colony of San Pedro, Mesias is today anything BUT a colony. The comparatively small nation along the Caribbean coast has become an economic power, mainly from the export of oil and various agricultural goods. And, also, manual labor for clothing and textile companies. The country has a remarkable history... from the ancient civilizations that lived here, to the colonization by San Pedro, and to the fight for independence. We'll start off though in Santa Leon, because it's the biggest city and also because our plane landed here... duh, where else would we go?!
I kinda made the pictures look like postcards because... IDK.... I like the look of postcards. 
Traveller's Tip: If a strange man walks up to you offering you "cheap cigars", don't buy them. The government has reported drug mafias attempt to lure gullible tourists into smuggling questionable items in cigar boxes to scare away tourism. Plus, smoking is just plain unhealthy. 
Traveller's Tip: Do NOT cheer for the opposing team during a huge soccer game - especially for a local rival such as Colombia, or worse, Venezuela. You'll likely find yourself on the top of a flagpole, covered in blue and white paint, and wearing very little.
oh, and BTW, today is my birthday 
It's a special birthday because now I'm legally able to vote! Or play M-rated games or watch R-rated movies, but I already did that anyway
