This is La Casa de Francois- highly reccomended to anyone going through San Agustin.  Lots of Hammocks and friendly animals.

walking just outside of San agustin- bananas! and cows!  There were also many chickens, several of which crossed the road.

Last Saturday we decided to to a hike down into this ravine, up the other side and along to a tourist attraction of precolumbian sculptures.

This is around noon after we had come up the other side with only some bread and jam.  After getting a little lost in some poor farmers coffee plants and redirected, we kept walking, and walking.  It would be a lie to say there wasn´t some hunger-induced crankiness, so handy Tom cut me some sugar cane. mmmmmm . .. sugar . . .

Altos de los Idolos, the goal of our hike, is a spot on top of a very high mountain where hills, which turned out to be burial mounds, were excavated in the 20s and 70s.  >Most of the sculptures are about 4 feet high and gard a small passageway to a burial chamber with a sarcophogus.  They also found pottery and gold objects in there, but those are now mostly in Germany. These particular ones date from 2000 years ago to 500 a.d.

Fruits! Colombia has the most wonderful fruits!  This is papaya, lulo a round orange fruit with greenish seeds, kinda sour, and the speckldy orange one witha long stem is a granadilla.  Inside are slimy grey seeds that you have to slurp down like oysters.  Luis said he used to get them in his lunch box and they called them king kong buggers. mmmm
