Need to see way more of this country!!!! Soon Enough….
Living in Venezuela for 3 years warranted at least one visit to Colombia. Well one visit is all I got. You know the old saying that if you live close to somewhere; you always put off going there. This is exactly what I did with Colombia. I would always say, yea I am gonna go there next week etc etc.
Well at least I got there one time!!!! I actually fell in love with it. I went with some friends from Maracaibo that I taught with as we took a taxi to the border, then picked up a van at the Colombian border. I remember my relief as I crossed over to the Colombian side and was able to take my money out of my underwear and put it in my pockets!!! That was how safe I felt over there.
Half of my friends went to a surf camp for a few days in which they stayed in little posadas, and half of us spent time in and around Santa Marta. This was a quaint little town with a big history to it. They had places to dance, to eat, to sit at the beach, and to drink(probably too much of this).
Will I get back to Colombia? Most definitely as I fell in love with this country, but too many other countries got in the way of me going back there….hmmmmm sounds like a copout!!!!
