For Colombians it isn’t a secret that our country has given the world the best climbers in cycling competitions. This year they have proved themselves again. Mauricio Soler, a 24 year-old guy from Boyacá, captured the prestigious polka dot jersey, which is awarded to the King of the Mountains in Le Tour de France.
At the Pan Am Games in Rio 
(Original Story)
Colombia edged out Canada 201-199 in a close final of the archery women’s team event at the Pan Am Games on Saturday.
Only two points separated the winner and the runner-up in a rainy and windy day. The bronze medal went to the United States which beat Mexico 198-194.
The medal count is not looking too bad for Colombia either.
A little note in El Tiempo this morning: For the first time in history, the Wilson Bridge on the Potomac river in Washington was open so a ship from a foreign navy could go through. It was our very own “buque insignia,” the ARC Gloria. It makes me smile.
Today we not only celebrate Colombia for its independence but also for the good things it has to offer!
Take a couple of minutes and watch this video it will put a smile on your face.
My Colombian friends! and anyone else that wants to lend a hand
July 20th is the Colombian Independence DAY!
I have changed the look and going to relaunch Proyecto Colombia tomorrow. However, in order for it to be what is should be, I need help. We need contributors that will look for POSITIVE news stories about Colombia, write articles and moderate comments. The Flickr group has grown a lot, so pictures can be submitted directly there.
If you are interested on helping out, contact me at gmail, my username is as always Logtar.
You can also support us by posting tomorrow about the Colombian independence and linking back to the site http://colombia.logtar.com.
