Sunday October 13, 2024

We took an intercity bus to Cristina's home town, Roldanillo, where they have the hanggliding world chmapionships, usually in January.  Today they were having a celebration of the town's Flavours and Colours, where artisans had tents covering the main square, selling their foods and wares to the accompaniment of live music.  Here is a video:

It was very warm, and I was practicing "mind over matter" to ignore the heat, and I seemed a lot more comfortable than Cristina in her black vinyl pants.

She got to do some shopping, buying things with hummingbirds today, bags and earrings....   After one circuit, I was happy to sit in the shade and watch the shows as they traded musical groups often.

I was happy the get home before dark.  We discussed a possible move to Roldanillo which normally had nice cool breezes, and a lot of expats.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
