I just returned from a successful and highly enjoyable visit to Colombia with birding friends. We'll all have very fond memories for years to come. Great birds, great companions, friendly hosts and warm, engaging, interesting people everywhere we travelled.
More to follow!
...I'm glad that you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteDavid, it's good to know that you will write more about your experiences and show lots of pictures. I look forward to reading your posts and seeing the photos.

ReplyDeleteIt’s interesting, Sandra, that we chatted with an American from Santa Clara, CA one day. He had been asked by friends whether he was fearful about going to Colombia and he advised them that he exercised more caution going to the Safeway store to buy groceries, and would not even consider going into a church or a classroom.
DeleteHi David,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for more info about this trip. It sounds very good!
Happy weekend,
Regards Maria

I know you and your birding friends had an amazing experience in Columbia, David, and also know that you will be sharing many wonderful photos. It does take time to sort through them speaking from my own experience. Thanks too for the well wishes for my NYC trip. I am most looking forward to going to Ellis Island and, of course, seeing the holiday decorations.
