Colombia is beautiful and we are glad we came. Two more blogs coming out soon. The small towns are picturesque. We've learned a great deal while here.

as one, i would have enjoyed the work in the coffee bean side of the trip. could have been interesting if they wanted you to milk the cows. come to think of it, i might have enjoyed that too.

I've milked cows before and they get up earlier than I want to! The coffee country was serene.

Daily Colorful Experiences!
Enjoyed reading about your interesting and colorful daily experiences, and the information about Colombia which you shared with us in this blog! I think I would have enjoyed visiting the coffee plantation (visited something similar in Costa Rica), and visiting the little towns of Finlandia and Solento. Glad you enjoyed your visit there. Great photos!!

Colombia has a great deal to offer and it is much larger land wise than we realized before our arrival. Lots of fun.

You are an coffee expert MJ
I think Starbucks would employ you as advisor, MJ and Dave! Great experience. The winding roads do attract me always. Once I drove to Mae Hong Son in Thailand just to cover the 1800 + mountain pass. Lucky you. Colombian greenery are famous. Wax Palm is interesting - something I just learned from your blog. I am going to forward the link to one of my Colombian colleague who is a passionate Colombian, but lives here in Calgary. Have fun...looking forward to reading more from your future blogs.

I doubt Starbucks wants to employ us. Winding roads have a great deal to offer. Your trip to mountain passes in Thailand sounds lovely. Wax palms are tall and stately.

Each town has its own church in the town square

Coffee Country
What a great way to find out how a favourite drink is created, it seems very important to know about the origins of what we consume. Colombian Coffee Country looks beautiful, and very serene. The Wax Palms and valley look amazing! Well done on picking so many coffee beans MJ, and I also love Dave's point about it not being a competition, lol 😊

Coffee Country
Indeed coffee country was scenic and serene. We enjoyed our time there. The cute neighboring towns were a delight. Dave always teases me about things not being a competition.

Coffee and tall trees
I just realised that I missed reading this blog... sorry about that. When we planned our trip to Colombia (that was twice cancelled due to covid), a stay on a coffee plantation and seeing the wax palms were high on the list. Your blog has made me even more excited about seeing this country one day. And we could possibly see our first opossum! Love the food photos :)

Coffee and Tall Trees
Columbia has a lot to offer and we enjoyed our trip. With that said it is not a place for foodies... in our opinion. I was very surprised at the lack of spices. I expected it to more like Mexico.
