A walk around my pueblito in rural Colombia.

Street art!

This morning when I woke up, the power was out. It was as if the universe answered an unasked question. Yesterday I was on my computer so much without my blue light glasses I had the worst headache.

I told myself I would not do anything on my laptop until the afternoon. I will start setting hours to be online. I have noticed that technology has taken over my life, and I’m not too fond of it. Today I had a solid 9 hours without power, it was bliss.

I was so productive and took a long walk into town. I suddenly got inspired to take a ton of photos; I am trying to channel my inner GE McKerrihan; if you are not following his daily photo walks, you must! He is a fellow medium writer living abroad, and his photos are impressive.

I feel like I walk through an art gallery every time I read his article. So I thought I would give you a walking tour of my little pueblito.

Views from the road, the river, and Piedra el Tabor (the mountain in the back, you can hike to the top!)

I love walking to town; I take a moment and appreciate the views that usually go zipping by. Piedra el Tabor is one of the most challenging…
