Howdy, this is Ryan and Claire's travel blog. We are heading to Europe first and fly into Madrid on 8/17/09. After two months of whatever that entails, we'll be heading to Central America (after a quick nod to a lanky fellow in Miami) and arrive in Guatemala on 10/17/09. After one month of busing down Central America, we'll be flying into Colombia and after another month, we should be flying home from Argentina around 12/20/09.

Ville de Leyva

Classic looking man and his donkey. Heading to the market to sell his goods.

Ville de Leyva- Thanksgiving.

Ville de Leyva - Thanksgiving

Ville de Leyva

We had the best room and this is the beautiful view outside. To the inside, our windows opened up into an open-air courtyard garden filled with humming birds.

Bogota

So-so city. I'd skip it next visit for sure.

Bogota

Great views at the top though. It is built into the mountains so it can't be that bad eh? The big cities do have a lot of pollution though.

Bogota

Pablo Escobar. Former cocaine king of Colombia and once 5th richest man in the world.

Bogota - My Birthday!

Huge filet mignon and red wine.

Bogota - My Birthday!

Complete with personal band haha.

Bogota - My Birthday!

Salento

Coffee country in the Valle de Cocora.

Salento

Horse back ride through the Valle de Cocora.

Salento

Salento- Coffee Plantation

Tasting coffee at the plantation...very smooth. Note that it's very hard to get good coffee down here as they export all the good beans and they don't have good equipment to prepare it either...chances of finding espresso machine in a small town = impossible. This general rule applies for most of their good fruits and vegetables as well...mostly exported.
