I´m Baaaaack! Now in Colombia, South America
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009Well gang, It´s been awhile since my last post here. The days after Christmas became a blur of packing and take-off duties, which I boringly wrote about on my other running blog: www.heyboomers.com, but because I´d forgotten my password, didn´t get duplicated here. You know the takeoff drill anyway, so I won´t bore you.
I took off for Bogota, Columbia, on January 2, arriving very early Saturday morning, for a three-day at Alegria´s Hostel in La Candalaria district. It´s pretty and a new hostel but I froze my whole time in that city because of the high altitude and the low temperatures. Luckily, I had cold weather clothing and wore three or four layers, even to bed.
Yesterday was spent busing through the mountains in a gorgeous air-conditioned modern bus to the wonderful city of Medellin and a late arrival at Casa Kiwi, which is super-good. I treated myself to a private room, shared bath for $25 per night and am now getting acquainted with the hostellers and the resident phantasm (ghost) who lives next door to my room. I like things like this and was thrilled to hear that this modern hostel made up of two old houses, had one. He´s a good ghost.
Anyway, I shall try to share my postings between my two sites and become an active Boots blogger again. Come back for more ghost stories.
