Lago Calima for the weekend:)
Hi all,
I went up to a place called Lago (lake) Calima for the weekend. I'll try to publish some pictures tommorow to show you what it was all about. A marvelous time though. The bus ride there was only 8000 pesos (about $4) and it was a realatively comfortable 2 hour ride up into the mountains to the lake. It's a man made lake and is used as the water source for Cali so the lake itself is only ok but there is this beautiful little town along it. I was there with Jordan and Regan and we wandered the town, rode some horses, went salsa dancing and all kinds of other things. This one bar was playing techno music so, of course, I had to go in and dance and you should have seen the stares that I got... it was awesome. I guess it's not everyday that they see not only a white guy (we didn't see any other white people there) but one who is basically a giant compared to everyone else in the place. We were high enough up in the mountains that there were clouds nearby and it was hoodie weather in the evenings. There is this one view where the bus was going over a bridge on the way into town that was probably the most beautiful sight that I have ever seen. It was a huge mountain gorge with steeply rising hills covered in lush trees on either side.... basically the same thing on the imax movie when they fly through the gorge, or from Jurassic Park II.
Anyway, more about his later with the pics.
Tah Tah:)
Love Matt
