Flag of Colombia Villa de Leyva, Colombia
Tuesday, April 14, 2009

This little town was great, and is actually a national monument. Founded in the late sixteenth century, there really are hardly any modern buildings. In fact, I've realized that if I owned the red ceramic roof tile and white paint factories in Colombia, I'd be using $100 bills as toilet paper.

The hostel was a great place to relax and was out in the countryside about 1 km from town. I easily could've spent a month there, but must continue moving right now.

Most famous resident of the town: Jesus in a poncho. Too bad I lost my camera.
