Invited to have dinner with the family....so nice

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 10:44 PM

Dinner was some of the best food I have had in a long time
Lamb pasta
Yum

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 10:45 PM

and for dessert.......Cheese from Colombia
and of course wine that pairs with it

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 10:50 PM

Of course after all that food and wine, I was running late to Villa de Leyva. I got there about dark. Here's the town square at night

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 10:53 PM

Another nice place to stay in Villa de Leyva - Renacer Guesthouse
I chose to camp

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 10:58 PM

I got in my tent and this cute little guy came over and slept right next to me the whole night. I guess he was feeling lonely that night

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 11:01 PM

While I was setting up my tent, this group of kids were playing a game nearby. I went over and asked what they were playing and they invited me to play. Great group of kids. Some cutties too. I don't why some people in the US say bad things about the French, I think they are great

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 11:03 PM

Town square during the day.
Biggest square in So America.....perhaps

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 11:04 PM

What??????
Another winery in Colombia
Near Villa de Leyva
I stopped by for a sip......twice!

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 11:06 PM

They made a tasty Cabernet

After the winery, I set off to do a hike to a 200 foot waterfall.
Every hiking trail here is on private property so the owners charge some money to access the trail. I was the only one around for miles and this older couple hears me coming and greets me at the trailhead. They ask for 1000 pesos (about 60 cents). A bargain.

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 11:15 PM

View of the canyon from the trail
It's about 500 feet almost straight down

flyingdutchman177 · 03-09-2013, 11:24 PM

Here's the waterfall.
I wanted to hang my feet over the ledge but I couldn't get down that far
