(This post is in honor of the Yosts. :) written Wednesday)
These two chairs encapsulate the diversity we experience daily in this country. The little wooden one was at a rural cafeteria on the mountain plateau (between Yarumal and Santa Rosa) the only place for kilometers, sitting perched up there in the wind with the cows.
We biked through the Wisconsin of Colombia today, the milk production region. A very windy and cloudy and cold Wisconsin: the diversity of eco-zones in this country continues to astound me.
The second chair is in the town of Santa Rosa, at an epically schmancy pizza restaurant. The decorations and classy furniture always seem so striking to me after so many meals in dusty little thatched-roof places.
And at either type of place, we are treated with such welcome and leave rotund and happy.
Maybe that's one reason I love travel so much, its a way of seeing, really seeing, participating in these contrasts.

What was the temperature?
Temperature at the top? At night it got down to upper 50s, which must seem balmy to you northeners.
