South America...69 days and 5985 miles later...

Columbia is a beautiful country......from the People, to the roads, the food to the scenery. everybody helping us with anything and everything from finding hotels to changing our oil. everyone is so curious about our Journey and making us feel very welcome in their country. Columbians claim to be the happiest in the world. I believe it. I have not heard anybody talk negative about anything anybody or anywhere. They all have a Positive outlook on life and it's great to be in a country where the people are not only so beautiful but the scenery is just as beautiful. I think whom ever designed the roads in Columbia must have made them just for Motorcycles. The roads are so much fun and so beautiful. I have never seen anything like it before. It just keeps getting better around every turn, and there are a lot of them... motorcycles do not have to pay at all the tolls on the roads:)

WE have to keep all of our layers close by. It will be raining one minute and then we will drop down and it will be hot and humid and within another 10 minutes we will need our jackets on agian. OH it's good to be back in the mountains. Columbia is in the "foothills" Of the Andes and in the Amazon River Region. If you can imagine such a place. it is Columbia!

The Food is some of the best so far also. Plantains "the potato of the clouds" are used in a lot of dishes.. like a green banana....I love them, Paul not so much. Plantains soup below is served with just about every meal and of course a cold columbia cerveza.

Flying our bikes to Columbia was the best idea. It saved a lot of time and hassle. We were able to get all of our paperwork, for importing our bikes into the country, right at the cargo terminal. once we found the right office to go to (tranlation still is not the best) the whole office was helping me out, unlike any other border crossing so far. They were all smiling and helpful. Thank you columbia.
