A night in a roman motel

Sorry for not have written sooner but it appears that in this area of the city (Baranquilla) the cell coverage was down for the night, thus no blackberry service and obviously we couldn't get a message out from our phones... This picture you see here is of the 10 foot, heart shaped mirror directly above our bed in the paraiso Roman motel that we drove into last night...
To make a long story short, American Airlines supposedly received 3 of our 4 bags, yesterday at the airport but by the time we got there it was 5:41PM and they had all left for the day...it is unbelievable that an airport can just shut down...we are so used to life in NYC where nothing ever closes.
Instead of having them send those bags to our hotel in the next town we planned on staying at, Paula wanted to personally inspect the bags as soon as the airport opened on Wed morning....we are heading there soon.
We ended up making friends with the girl from Hertz (we've been in a rental car since Sunday) and her boyfriend, Ranses, helped us find this "lovers" motel by the airport. First off it was the cheapest place and secondly it meant we didn't have to travel 30 minutes away to the city center.
This has been quite a place...all kinds of characters, we have seen just about every kind of couple here from the obvious prostitutes to the old lady and man on a "honeymoon" (better late than never they say)
The place is decent and at least the sheets looked clean, there were a couple sex machines, that I'm not exactly sure how they worked, with a little imagination we tried to invent something...;-) the room didn't have the famous Roman jacuzzi (that this place was known for) apparently since we were not hourly guests they didn't want to give it to us...go figure.
We definitely wanted to thank Giselle and Ranses because they totally helped us with this place and took us out to a nearby place to have famous roasted chicken, we'll leave that story for another time!
Guys sorry I have not been able to get video or pictures on the site yet...please stay tuned it will be up soon...the last couple of days have been hard...remember the site officially launches Feb 1....
