Back Home from Colombia

     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.

I'm a life long birder. My interests are birds, nature, reading, books, outdoors, travel, food and wine.

    There you are... I was starting to fret when no comments or posts were appearing! Hadn't realised there was another trip taking place - though probably ought to have guessed. Looking forward to the reports! YAM xx

    1. It’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.
