En Colombia

Hello!!

We are in San Gil now- Colombia´s "adventure capital"- with about an hour to wait before we go rappeling down a waterfall not far from here. San Gil is great. It´s a small town with almost 0 tourists so I am one of like 2 blonde people in the whole town. haha This is our 2nd day here and we are planning on leaving tomorrow. Yesterday we decided to walk to Barichara. It´s a small town not too far from San Gil that our tour book said was Hollywood´s dream colonial town. The book said a 2 hour hike and 5 hours later with 4 of those being uphill and under the hot hot Colombian sun, we arrived. It was gorgeous but now I am a lobster!

Bogota was nice but we will be back there on July 28th so we didn´t want to stay long. We walked to the Operation Smile office and met up with some of Steve´s friends that were super nice. I may have to start looking in to doing some Operation Smile missions.. The marathon in August is a fundraiser for them.

Well I have 2 minutes left of my time and must send my mom an email before she thinks something terrible has happened to me in Colombia. I´m safe. :)
