Finally heard from Woody on Sunday morning:
"first computer time since panama and it is late and i need to have a bit of time to unwind before i sleep, so i just wanted to tell you that all is truly well and that i will write you a bunch about what has been going on in the next couple of days."
He is now in Villa Leyva, a town of about 4,000, founded in 1572, with incredible historical architecture that has been preserved. Look at the posted pictures from the map.

According to Wiki, this town was where Zorro, the soap opera was filmed. For any followers in Mrs. Neal's Spanish II class, this ought to ring a bell. It is also the setting for part of Love in the Time of Cholera (a favorite).
I'll let you know more of the Woody adventures once I get them.

Woody let me know a little bit about this:
ReplyDelete"this colonial city is neat, but not as much as the monstrous hills rising behind it. the elevation is around 8000 ft., so it is finally cool, which makes me happy. another night here at least, and then heading for bogota. i had some issues with the new fuel pump yesterday which i can hopefully have addressed in bogota. i am going to do some more work on it today, if i have the time and energy. colombia is a big country, and traveling through takes days and days. the people have so far been unique, in that they possess a life in their eyes and a kindness and interest which is not shy to the stranger."
