Final exams are over and less than two weeks of our time in South America remain, so my roommate Tyra and I decided to accomplish one of our last goals of studying abroad: exploring a country outside of Peru! We are in Colombia!
Colombia is sunny year-round, with a very strong Caribbean influence. The warm temperatures and sunshine are incredibly refreshing, since our last few month of Lima have been more cold than warm. We arrived into Cartagena yesterday, spent the afternoon at the beach, then journeyed to Taganga. In Taganga, we had dinner with our two French friends before they go on a four-day hike to the famous "Ciudad Perdida." The next 6 days are loosely planed; but, we prefer to live spontaneously, so plans are only tentative. The ocean is just moments away from our hostal, so the opportunity for outdoor adventures is virtually endless.
Colombia is vastly different from Peru, so I look forward to seeing more of this culture!
