Closing On Columbia

When I first talked of going to Columbia, the comments I got, especially from those who had been there, were all about how beautiful it is and be careful, mindful, play-it-safe and don't-go-out-alone-at-night. Some of this I've heard before but never to this extent. It didn't stop me from finding out for myself. Yes, Bogota, big city, and what can one expect, after all. But the rest of Columbia is full of people who are friendly and helpful. often without being asked. The following photos wrap up my journey.
