It's a Small World

Sitting in the club area as we were getting ready to proceed with our day, a nice gentleman inquired as to our whereabouts. We told him Miami which is just easier and he told us he was from a small town in North Carolina that Leslie had been to in her Virginia days. As we were talking to him another lady chimed in she was for from Fort Lauderdale.  She was actually from Deerfield Beach like we are actually from Hollywood and we got to laugh about how we tell people larger cities that they can recognize easier. It turns out that Nicole and Ashley are both teachers and traveling together. It is so great that you can have someone compatible to travel with and get to see the world. It's even better when you're a teacher and have enough time to devote to travel. I'm also including some pictures from our wild and crazy taxi drive back from the gold Museum.
On the drive back the taxi driver took some back roads and these were not the best of neighborhoods

Looking up the mountain to some beautiful buildings

Then not so beautiful

Large and impressive

Nicely framed bunch of flowers

A mural and a hangout spot right by our hotel

A gigantic Colombian flag

Roads on top of roads over top of ravines

Lots of brick buildings in our neighborhood

A church Downtown

Leslie Nicole and Ashley with three million dollars worth of smiles


 after the Gold Museum we ran into Nicole it is so fun to run into Kindred Spirits
