Yesterday was brutal. Lots of throwing up, as we made our way on a bus ride from Salento to Bogota, almost 9 hours through mountain passes that make the roads through the Rockies seem tame. To round out the trip, Leah transposed the address of our Airbnb apartment, so we drove around our taxi semi-aimlessly for a while. Then I put the frosting on the day by miscalculating the taxi fare and paying the guy 10 times what he was owed. (Some taxi driver was out dancing last night.) That's about when CJ came down with food poisoning.
But hey, the day BEFORE yesterday was just awesome. That's why we tolerate days like yesterday. (It did get us to Bogota, which looks like fun. And from here, we'll fly to the Amazon.) Two days ago we rode those horses you saw out to a stunning organic coffee farm. These little plantations are gorgeous because they are nestled in the mountains. They are also pretty because the coffee plants have to be shaded with banana and avocado trees. And as a coffee addict, I was really interested in the whole tour, which of course culminated in a cup of coffee on the veranda. So, since you probably don't want photos of motion sickness, I give you a Colombian coffee tour in five photos:
