Colombia (Restrepo, Wieming Joins, Finger Accident, Popayan, Pasto)

Restrepo
where we stayed a couple days to give Wieming a chance to catch up
and where we celebrated Rosa's birthday


and where I nearly chopped off my finger cleaning the chain of my bike
run to hospital for 7 stitches to glue it back together
thumbs up with my homemade cast
the start of the weeks long nightly ritual changing of the gauze
Back in Cali not much has changed after 2 days

Goodbye to Edward of England leaving Cali
Fixing a man's flat
everyone is on duty

On the Panam South toward Ecuador
bridge over the river to Popayan
Popayan
up to the mirador for sunset
Rosa dreams of a new saddle
stroll through the colonial old town in the evening
book market
A week gone by and ready to start removing the stitches
3 out 4 to go
the hospital intern sure made a hell of a mess of this one
My pepsi can stove at its best...
making hot chocolate in the early morning
Past Mercadero - Our first Wieming campout

aside a beautiful lake

oatmeal for breakfast before heading off
the incident
Military en ruta loaded up and ready for anything
The backroad to Pasto
A stunning bridge

over an impressive deep canyon


plants clinging to the cliff

and onward higher above
