Last night we arrived in Santa Marta, a small beach town near Venezuela. The bus ride was quick and painless and let me tell you getting to the bus station was a hell of an adventure. We're staying at The Dreamer Hostel and have already quickly made some friends. We'll probably stay here for a quite a while, it's simply too beautiful and there's a lot of hiking and exploring to be done. We're eager for our January 1st departure for Cuzco, but one thing I will miss a lot about Colombia is the pace of life in this amazing country. Everything is done so much more slowly here, forcing you to take a minute and just relax and take it all in. It makes me think of home and how much stress I always put on myself to get things done so quickly without ever thinking about the stress I was putting on myself... But I guess that's how things have to be done in the good ol US of A.
Playa Blanca was absolutely gorgeous... but the bugs at night were not, my back looks like it was used to host a mosquito under age drinking party, they showed me no mercy. I'm in the process of uploading some photos onto facebook, but here are a few keepers to hold you over until the album is up. Yes that is Jordan getting Iced on a boat full of Colombian onlookers... and it won't be the last time.
