In Colombia

Just wanted to give a quick update. We have made it into Colombia and are now sitting in Popayán, a small colonial city south of Bogotá. We mae it here after a very important stop in Ibarra, Ecuador. Why was Ibarra important? Because they have the Southern hemisphere´s best ice cream shop, a little place that makes homemade ice cream in a big copper bowl.

We will be gradually working our way north, taking our time and visiting various parts of Colombia along the way, as we continue to be in less and less of a hurry as our continued efforts at farm (or any other volunteer activity) work fail (even though the farming was supposed to be a big part of the plan on this trip, the lack of response from the farms has generated lots of extra time to see ana amazing variety of things, so we certainly aren´t too upset over it... how could we be upset over anything when in an apparent paradise?)

We will update more as we move along.

Yum, yum. Ice Cream. At least you have your priorities right. Planning your routes around good restaurants is a time honored family tradition.
