When I see the clouds in the valley behind my house it will soon rain. The Catholic Church has a diary, convent and church on the property. Wonderful to hear the bell from the church. Great to finally see rain.

@creepypeoples @Morbidful I sailed the Caribbean for 30 years and had some encounters at sea with what I considered bad people. I had to bring my riffle out on one occasion. They left when they saw my gun.

I hope to one day be able to tour this coffee plantation house in Fusagasuga built in 1870. Italian artists did the paintings on the exterior. It had a outdoor kitchen and a big underground cistern. Casona, Quinta Balmoral. It’s closed to the public most of the year.

When in Bogota you always see yellow taxis You don’t need to call Uber here. You just stand on the sidewalk and flag a taxi down. And they are cheap. Government regulated. Never had one try to rip me off. They do text and drive which is illegal but they still do it.
