Holy Crap! You can find Ramon any Friday or Saturday in front of Douglas. If he hasn't found a new place to hang out at.

I'm seeing if a friend of mine has Ramon's email address.
Walter's website is www.personalmeetings.com
When I get the email address I'll post it.

Traveller,
 I too would like the info on Ramon and Walter.  I used to have the website for Walter, but I lost it.  However, since I had posted my earlier questions; I would like to follow up with something concerning Latin-Internet.  I am more familiar with them, since I am currently a member,and I have used them before.  I have been told here many times that it is better to actually travel to Colombia and meet the women.  Well, naturally that is true, and I did.  But, then you have the "down" times, when you are back in the States, and lonely, etc.   At this point, I can't go down there every other month, or something.   So, I try the next best thing.  Speaking personally, I enjoy trying to "fish" long distance.  It's not nearly as good as in person, but it sure beats nothing!  Now, I said all that to say this, at Latin-Internet, I can look on the website and pick through the ladies I am interested in and then I write them.
The difference with that agency from some of the others is that I send the email to the agency, and one of the staff members translates the letter and sends it on to the lady.  I realize that many of you guys are fluent, or near fluent in spanish.  However, for guys like me, who cannot speak spanish yet; this is a real help.  And another thing, there is no limit on the number of emails or a limit on the number of ladies.  I am not being paid to say this, it's just that I am giving to you my experience.  If some of the other agencies in Cali were as strong as they once were, I might try them; and at some point, I still might.  But, since Pete said that Latin-Internet is somewhat a mystery, I thought I would put in my two cents worth.  The staff is nice, but they will not let a woman spend the night; at least not until you are engaged or married.  They told me they had a bad experience some time back with some guy partying too loud, so they put a stop to that part of it.  But, the Villa is nice.  Now it's not as classy or big as the one at CaliViP, from what you guys have said; but it's nice.  Anyway, I just thought some of you might want to hear about that.  It's up to you.

Comments on Latin Internet are very rare and I'd encourage you to post a seperate thread on this agency discussing the staff, facilities, services, women, etc. I have visited the Latin Internet facility, but I've never used their services. It is a very beautiful property, but it doesn't seem to have as much traffic as the other agencies. They seem like a viable option because their women are typically not associated with any of the other agencies. I'm curious to know roughly what percentage of the women showed up to your appointments. Did you get a feel for how often they came to the agency? One thing I liked about colombiansweethearts.com was that I was the first appointment for a few of the girls. One had even  gotten a manicure and pedicure for the cita. This just goes to show how important it is that we treat the women with respect even if we quickly conclude that the appointment isn't going anywhere. Maybe she will be perfect for the next guy that comes along, but she will only show up for the next guy if her experience was positive IMHO.

Seeker,

Thanks for your comments.  I will be happy to give my opinion concerning Latin-Internet.  Since you recommended me doing a separate thread, then that's what I will do.

I visited both Latin Encounters and Latin Connections. Both Margareth and Margo were helpful but I thought that Margareth was more personable and seemed more eager to find a good match for gringos. But personally I never had any major problems with either of them.

If you want to call an agency "the best" based on the number of marriages produced, Margareth is probably the best to date. I have nothing against Margo, but if she was the best agency operator, why did she go out of business while Margareth moved on?

Margo was not the owner of Latin Connections, just an employee for Beckwith. I heard Margo is now working for an agency in Bogota, I am sure she will do very well there again.

Good point. I never met Beckwith but I remember that he didn't have the greatest repution.

I didn't know that Margo went to Bogota. That is quite a change- from sunny, hot Cali to cool and cloudy Bogota. Agreed, she will do very well there again.
