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.

Cartagena

Beautiful city on the Caribbean coast.

Cartagena

On the way to Santa Marta

People are always selling stuff...everything and everywhere. Or juggling things at traffic stops, like sticks dipped in gasoline and lit on fire. Check this dudes hat though.

Tayrona

Beautiful jungle/beach preserve on the Caribbean coast. As you can see, Claire is on a horse.

On the way to Ville de Leyva

Student that helped us catch a bus.

On the way to Ville de Leyva

This is the classic situation on buses. Kids just love turning around and staring at us.

Ville de Leyva

Most beautiful colonial town in Colombia for us. We are in LOVE with this place and I suspect be coming back many times in the future.

Ville de Leyva

I hiked my own way up a mountainside and found a couple of these fresh guys along the way...actually saw a dog or something move in the brush as I approached this one. Nice to know I wasn't alone!

Ville de Leyva

View from the top of a hike I did every day. Seriously, this is a very magical place.

Ville de Leyva

Wine and cheese at the top one evening.

Ville de Leyva

The supplies.

How many...
How many bottles of wine has that Swiss army knife opened? How many pieces of cheese has it cut?
