So I had yet another three day weekend and went to this town that is about two hours north of Medellin. I went with my roomie Tina. We left on Sat. morning and came back Monday afternoon. The bus ride was very comfortable and easy, although there were a few problems with landslides on the roads (it is officially the rainy season) but we made it there just fine. It was a beautiful ride through the mountains on windy roads with great views. The town itself is small and very cute. It is a colonial style town with narrow cobblestone roads, horses and cows everywhere, cool architecture and a cute plaza. The plaza was full of people selling jewelry, art etc so it was a great weekend for shopping. It was also much warmer than in Medellin, hot and humid......so we spent most of the day sitting by the pool at our hotel. This is becoming a theme of mine on vacations. I like it! I have a great tan and it is November!!

It wouldn't be a town without at least two churches
I just love walking down the street and seeing cows hanging out.
