Pretty Pictures of Santa Marta

I know it's been awhile since I've updated the blog, but not having internet will do that to you!  So to make it up to all of you, I'll add lots of pretty pictures this go around :)

This is the amaaaaazing view (night time via the lens of a camera does it no justice) of a small town outside of Santa Marta called Rodadero.  I had the absolute pleasure of joining my host family as they visited their son in Santa Marta several weeks ago.  Their son has a one month old baby, so needless to say I was in heaven!

I never would have been able to experience Santa Marta if it weren't for the wonderful hospitality of not only my host family, the ones who signed up for taking care of a gringa, but their wonderful children and extended family.  I am incredibly lucky! Speaking of experiencing Santa Marta, we went up into the Sierra Nevada's a little bit and pulled of into this amazing paradise to spend the afternoon swimming in a pool and frolicking in the river! Once again, playing with kids the whole day. Perfect!

 

And you'll have to excuse the general disorder of my appearance, but I was underprepared for this trip to say the least!  But here I am dipping my toes into the Caribbean Sea for the first time in Colombia.

So now I've seen, and by this blog so have you you, the three potential cities that I will be living in for the next two years.  Stay tuned for the next post to find out where my final destination in Colombia will be!!
