I had a morning to myself which meant I could hang out and do nothing while Layne went to the Tuesday market in Silvia.
Rusty got his walk and I did a kitchen clean with sunshine pouring into the van. It felt like a bright fresh sunny spring morning.
What a great garden to have to myself with all the campers gone to market. Myself and Rusty.
The gardener was out mowing the copious quantities of grass.
Across the fences I could see in the distance a farmer shuffling his cows separating them into two fields and they kept him running.
Meanwhile in Silvia the overlanders were living it up.
Layne sent me this picture of Veronique from Montreal eating some of the best rice pudding. That was kind of Layne because she brought none home saying there were no to go containers. A likely story as I am very fond of rice pudding. Join with me in enjoying the photo.
I washed our dishes in the campground sink to save our own water of course. But I also got to stand in the beautiful morning sunshine.
Rusty follows me around so because I don’t like to disturb him I sat around for a bit enjoying the cool morning air.
Dishes drying in the sun; dog napping also in the sun.
We got some new neighbors from Germany in a pop top Iveco expedition truck, Martina and Gerhardt. They are driving south like us so we will expect to see them on the way and for that reason it was especially nice we found them so approachable.
Malika our Moroccan landlady, fluent in Arabic French English and Spanish which is lucky as we all show up at La Bonanza in our own weird flavors.
Tomorrow we are taking off for a road trip around central Colombia with a couple of days in Medellin. We want to road test GANNET2 before we leave Colombia and we want to check out the last piece of this fascinating country we haven’t yet visited.
