The adventures in Colombia continued. From Santander we went down to Suesca where we volunteered on a farm called LunAhumada almost 2 weeks with our great hosts Marlyn and Ricardo and kind of Claudia, who was a worker on the farm. From there we went to Bogota, the Capital where we stayed with my friend Martha and her lovely family. Then we Flew to Medellin and went down to Cali. That was our city stretch. At first it was nice to be in the city but by the end of it we were eager to return to nature. I don't have many pictures from the cities because I only took my phone out and left my Camera at "home". But that made choosing pictures easier. After this stretch we headed to the south, but those pictures will have to wait for another blog post.
So here we are at Casa de Teja, Mar's favorite place in the world (Mar(lyn)) in the one in the picture above and below). It is beautiful with a great view but it is also a a rock that looks like a house and we are on the "roof" here. It is legend that the indigenous hid all their gold in here the god's sealed it and to this day people look for it.
