After Brazil, Matt headed to Argentina to go fishing with his dad and his brother, while Adrianne and I headed to Colombia. I have been wanting to visit for years, so I was really excited to finally find someone who wanted to travel with me. We spent our time on the Caribbean and in the mountains of the east. We had tropical beach time and cool mountain air, both things that these girls from the Pacific Northwest were missing terribly. We ate well, relaxed, and spent a lot of time outdoors.

| Playing tejo, a Colombian game that is equal parts drinking and gunpowder. |
 |
| Overlooking the city of Bogota. Unfortunately, there was a large forest fire this day and we couldn't see much. |
 |
| We went on a biking tour of Bogota and saw many examples of its famous graffiti |
 |
We spent several nights near the Parque Nacional Tayrona, on the Caribbean coast. The water is clear, but a little cold. There are no cars, so you hike in for a couple of hours and have access to many beautiful beaches. |

| Colombia's most picturesque city, Cartegena. |
 |
| One of my favorite things about Colombia was the fresh fruit available everywhere for cheap. |
 |
| The beautifully preserved colonial town of Villa de Leyva, east of Bogota. |
 |
| The mountains around Bogota have been the sight of many archaeological finds |
 |
| My adventure buddy, Adrianne. |

| Bogota Beer Company. Finally, a South American country with decent beer! |
