Sounds Good on Paper

  • Medellin, for about ten minutes.

    Medellin, for about ten minutes.

    We spent our first night in a hotel and went out for a great dinner. I have no photos because I got over hungry and was hangry.

    The view from our hotel the next morning was stunning. Our included breakfast included some Colombian specialties.

    Hot chocolate for breakfast. Yum.
    Bunuelos are good but not quite a doughtnut. More like cornbread.

    After breakfast we did a quick walk before packing up and leaving town.

    We rushed to catch a bus to Jardin the small town we were spending mid week in since it gets crowded in the weekends.

    Sheryl: I just love leaving my hair curly. So quick and easy. Jeff: We can take a later bus if you need time to work on your hair.

    Our bus trip was three hours on a tourist bus. We were a bit frazzled from the traveling the day before. But no problem we’ve done bus rides before.

    Sheryl: We are cool! Jeff: We are adventurous.

    The bus ride was fine. But by hour three we were feeling our age.

    Jeff: My back hurts.
    Sheryl: My self esteem hurts.

    The stop for the bathroom was 3 1/2 hours into the ride probably the longest I’ve gone without peeing in a decade. It cost 500 pesos which is the equivalent of eleven US cents.

    Best 500 pesos I’ve ever spent.

    Jeff was delaying getting back on the bus.

    There’s got to be an airport around here somewhere.

    But then 4 1/2 hours later at arrived in Jardin and it was worth the trip.

  • Colombia

    Colombia

    Jeff and I are still hanging out in Panama. But now we are finally doing some exploring.

    We rushed to get this book sent from the US. I still haven’t opened it, hopefully Jeff has.

    First trip is to Colombia. We are taking a two week vacation to a country we’ve wanted to see for decades.

    Sheryl: We are 22 yrs old and just started dating, but want to go to Colombia?
    Jeff: Sure but let’s wait 23 years until we are old and a bus ride will hurt our backs.

    It’s been so long since I’ve packed for a vacation I forgot how.

    Most important is Sven, my stuffed support sloth.

    We flew on an airline called Wingo. The name sounds a bit too silly for an airline.

    Jeff suggested I start blogging again.

    Thirty photos later he wasn’t so psyched for me to blog

    I hate the internet.

    Our flight was great we got to Medellin and got an Uber. Well one of us got the Uber. The other one was busy “taking selfies for the blog.”
