So I wasn´t sure if I was going to travel to Colombia on this trip, but in my first few weeks of traveling I met many people who said it was the best country they visited. So I figured I had to check it out. Also I can take a boat from the north coast to Panama, which is also a good thing. So here I am.
I entered Colombia the day before yesterday and then spent my first night in a small city called Pasto. I was so impressed by the city. It was clean and bright, much more like Argentina or Uraguay then Equador or Peru. The people are vey friendly, I am having a great time.
Yesterday I took a bus to the town of Popayan. It is a really cute colonial town with tons of old buildings that are all whitewashed, making the town feel very fresh and clean. There was a nice look out near the town that I climbed.
At which there was another statue of a man on a horse, these are really common here, but since I had my camera out already...

You see I am getting tired of pictures of old churches, so although there were some nice ones, none that at this point were photo worthy. In the town square there were fabulous trees with great purple flowers all over them. Someone told me they are called may flowers. A very nice place to spend the day.
Today I am off to Bogota.
