Hi Y'all,
I left you with the knowledge that my computer had crashed,well after a new hard drive and no operating system I'm back.
Here we are in the oldest city in Colombia, founded in the 15 hundreds by BolĂ­var. This is also where he died. His body hair is in a grave in one of the churchs here. Other body parts are eleswhere.
The beach area is full of the statues of indigenous
Indians and all are naked. The strees are crouded with people and there cart full of stuff to sell. They set up in front of the stores and block most of the sidewalk, it's pretty neat. We have gone on 1 tour sofar to the lost
city of Taironaka. It's about a 2 hour drive
from Santa Marta and all along the road

are the vegie stands with the freshest
stuff you can find.













Well here are a few photos I hope you enjoy.











This is a photo of the Indigenous Indians that live in the real Lost City. They spend 2 to 3 days of walking down from the Village to spend a 5 to 7 day Vacation here at the replica and hope to pick uo a few pesos.

The little gold looking thing is part of there religion and that to is a replica, the real one is solid gold and protected. After I found that out I got getting a new sail boat out of my mind.



In there huts there are two doors,one for the men one for the women. If the women go in the wrong entrance they get tied up and not fed for 3 days. Now they know how to treat a women.








You can see the hammock in the hut, they are for the men, the women sleep on the floor.

See Y'all Down the Road

  1. Mike, glad to see Karen has been able to bring a little culture into your life. How is the local beer? Cigars? You didn't mention the important things! Also, I know you did this, if a man goes in the woman's door does he get tied up for three days? Must sound like heaven to you! Sending Michelle the new book and there are two characters that sound a lot like Karen & you, but they ain't in Colombia, they're in KW where they belong. Have fun and a Merry Christmas.
