The drive was spectacular, seriously, once you get out of Bogota, the country is sooo pretty! Such green mountains, cute little houses....</div><div>So anyways, our first stop was at a dam which looked more like a lake. ;) Really pretty rest stop! :) When we got to villa de leyva we got settled in to our room for the night. We stayed at some christian camp. Then we went out to an ostrich farm, then just explored villa de leyva.</div><div>Something interesting--the nuns that live in this town have made a vow to never be seen. They live inside a church and have a business selling things. How do they sell without being seen? They have this black turning turning thing (kinda like a revolving door) where you can place things in it and then turn it.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TGqof_3KnnI/AAAAAAAACRE/LocpWhIPJOc/s1600/DSC04564.JPG"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TGqof_3KnnI/AAAAAAAACRE/LocpWhIPJOc/s320/DSC04564.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506398762086080114" style="cursor: pointer;

Today we went to Ilarco church and got to see a baptism! After church we came home and ate these awesome vegetable fajitas that Auntie had made. We spent the afternoon relaxing and talking. In the evening Auntie and Uncle went out and left NRJ at home.

We ate french fries, onion rings, drank lemonade and tonic water and answered random trivia questions. There were 10 rounds with 10 questions each. The questions consisted of things like "who is the famous painter from Colombia," "what was the original name of the Mona Lisa painting," "what country has one solid color for their flag," and "what is Hannah Montana's real name?" We came in third place, thus ensuring that we didn't win anything but it was still lots of fun :)<div>Until tomorrow! </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TFmW7U8QCoI/AAAAAAAACHs/l7TNI5JhnW8/s1600/IMG_0043.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TFmW7U8QCoI/AAAAAAAACHs/l7TNI5JhnW8/s320/IMG_0043.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501594365787638402" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div>.:.NRJ and Auntie.:.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TFmWcWbFWVI/AAAAAAAACHc/wlBLj_GXPP8/s1600/IMG_0045.JPG"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TFmWcWbFWVI/AAAAAAAACHc/wlBLj_GXPP8/s320/IMG_0045.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501593833609451858" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div>.:.Sitting at the bar lol.:. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TFmWch58apI/AAAAAAAACHk/E6hLz2phWvE/s1600/DSC04306.JPG"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TFmWch58apI/AAAAAAAACHk/E6hLz2phWvE/s320/DSC04306.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501593836691679890" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div>.:.The scoreboard.:. </div><div><br /></div><div>Photos by: Uncle and R.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274512290563726285.post-65894559049667955602010-08-03T06:35:00.001-07:002010-08-04T16:50:34.533-07:00Day 21 and Day 22Not a whole lot occurred yesterday and today.

On our way we came across another Catholic parade. We are beginning to think that this must be a Sunday tradition... <div>After standing around and barely being able to hear the guide (there must have been over 100 people there), who was speaking in Spanish, Uncle and Auntie decided to leave the tour and explore town a little by ourselves. We stopped at Plaza Simon Bolivar and fed the pigeons. J even caught one that was being a little too inquisitive. We then headed down to the artisian market before heading home. In the evening, N&J and Auntie and Uncle headed down to the street corner to watch a work crew move a huge tree so it could be replanted. Apparently the owners of the property decided the tree would look better a couple of feet west of where it was originally planted. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TFmCz_eshuI/AAAAAAAACFE/vAKGhcrkLlk/s1600/DSC04256.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LU2htKSlfCw/TFmCz_eshuI/AAAAAAAACFE/vAKGhcrkLlk/s320/DSC04256.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501572249534891746" style="cursor: pointer;
