We're back at the Bogotá bus terminal. The constant noise of this place is somewhat numbing. Seriously. But the funny thing is that I can hear Hey Jude being played with Andean flutes over the main sound system right now. Really?
We were disappointed this morning to learn that we had to come all the way back to Bogotá to catch our bus to Medellin tonight... but our ride back was sooooo much more mellow than our ride here. Phew. And we bought to truffles and some cookies at the bakery we ate at this morning... and saved them to eat back here in Bogotá. It proved to be helpful incentive.:)
Villa de Leyva was lovely, mellow, relaxing and filled with fun encounters. For those of you also following Michelle's blog, you've already learned of Chava, the best stray dog in all of South America. I was hoping we would see her today to be able to say good-bye, and yet I was releaved, because she just so blindly adored us even after all of our discussions of our pending departure. (don't worry, we never touched her - no flees coming home with us) We ran into another group of policias, but this time they were police officers in training and were vacationing as a full class. So strange. We saw there are a couple of our stops along the horseback riding trip... and again, so difficult to take them seriously. We proved to be quite the oddity for their group, and in the end it was mutual. Ha.
So it's a 9 hour bus ride for us tonight - we're sitting in the front of the bus and I've got my Tylenol PM and neck pillow ready. We're getting to be pros already. Can't wait to meet Myriam (Michelle's friend from Medellin) and meet up with Ali tomorrow night!
