Colombia 2019: Lago Calima


After swimming in the pool after a relaxed breakfast of lots of bread and good conversation at Uncle Mario's dining room table, we headed through Colombian city, fields, the wide girth of the Cauca River, and even more landscapes before heading up into the mountains. The cooler air flowing in through the open windows felt nice.

While in the mountains, we stopped for lunch (another meal too large for me!). As we began to wind down the other side of the mountains, my brother and I couldn't stop being amazed at the variety and combination of the plants and fruits and trees and crops...there was literally everything!

Eventually, the lake appeared in the distance, and none of our attempts to take pictures out the windows failed to catch it properly.







Before we arrived at Lago (Lake) Calima, we went through a small town that was like a bite of Guatemala. And then, the lake.








The later it got, the further the clouds draped themselves over the mountains and valleys. The drive back as dusk and then darkness fell was just as beautiful.

We left Friday, September 23 around noon, and we drove in six states before reaching our final destination: Pennsylvania (of course), New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts (no, we didn't get lost, the highway just literally goes into one and then back into the other). We got there around 8:30 and it had since grown dark; thankfully, we still found the house and a place to park. After being introduced to her housemates and dropping off our stuff in her room, we hung out in the kitchen, eating some of the stromboli she had made and chatting about what was going on with all of us. I was in charge of photographing all of the state signs we passed - here's just a few! The house th...
