La Pintada

So, October 15th was a holiday. No one ever seems to know what the holidays are for, but there is an amazing amount of them. They are called puentes here and there is at least one every month. I went to a town called La Pintada . It is about two hours south of Medellin. I went with 4 other teachers from school. It was my first road trip. We went on a bus. That was interesting and cheap...about $4. The hotel was small and not much around . All of the meals and drinks were included so we didn't have to go anywhere. It was hot humid and not much to do except for relax, enjoy the view, work on my tan and order drinks from the pool guy. It was muy tranquilo!!


The bus ride was not so comfortable, but it was cheap and wow was I happy to have a seat!! Yes, several people just sat in the aisle for two hours. Not so much fun...The view from my hotel balcony


I spent most of my weekend going back and forth between the pool and the hammock room...it was rough!!!
