Here's one... what was the nickname of the woman from Tucson who had a big nose?
Narizona!

Re: South American way
That is nearby a great little town called Salento, Quindío... where we are until end of next week. Bunch of great hikes within half hour or so, here's a synopsis of the general area:

Re: South American way
looks like the perfect amount of fancy.
wish the american dream could handle less
and more color!
man, those are weird trees. can't imagine how they stay vertical.
looks like a great place.
had any coffee?
iguanas?
this evening, we were at a friend's place on the ridge, watching a movie with some folks.
"Civil War" it's called. fantasy about basically today's american divide. I could see it was going to suck; there was still an hour of light. So i decided to walk home through the woods. no trail, no jacket, no knife or lighter or compass or water...just me and a tee shirt and bum knee. it was wild. a mini-adventure. freaking steep! ended up walking in a creek i didn't recognize. much better than the movie. i remain fragile and tough as nails, simultaneously.
nobody does stuff like this anymore. i was ready for an ordeal, psychologically. good chance i'd be lost in the dark; spending the nite in a leaf pile, trying to ignore the scritching sounds.
temps in the 40's tonite. new weather.

Re: South American way
Salento area has been great, just walk out the door and down a road out of town and it's all steep green big hillsides covered in rows of coffee plants. Really beautiful in every direction. Colombiano and European tourists doing cultural tours on the farms/fincas seeing how it's grown, harvested, processed.stanky wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2024 4:17 am looks like the perfect amount of fancy.

We never did that though convenient just to stop and get a macchiato in the middle of wandering the countryside.

We're out to check out different places here slowly, tomorrow off to the outskirts of a small city couple hours north of here called Manizales...

Spend a couple weeks there to check out walking/hiking on the north end of Los Nevados National Natural Park, high altitude areas accessible there around the peak called Nevado del Ruiz...

More of a young persons' backpacking scene, at least here in Salento, than we saw last year in northwest Argentina. sparks could find him a young redhead here I bet.

Now that's a pleasant thought amid the horror story that is Umerca these days!
Enjoying your travels immensely Prez, even if remotely. Thanks very much to you and The FL.
