Still in Santa Marta, 27th Nov.

Bit of a lazy day today.
I took a walk to the junctions of two streets where the buses to both towns, Minca and Palomino apparently set off from. It's hard to tell, but I think I've got this right. I wanted to double check on the early start times for when I need to head that way - 30th Nov. for Minca. I'll think about Palomino later when I'm in MInca.
Apart from this 'exciting' detour I stayed within a few blocks of my digs. It's an interesting area in itself, and there are lots of places for lunch, dinner, snacks, avoiding souvenir sales persons.
I've been trying my best to photograph a variety of subjects, so that it doesn't get repetitive. The number of (mainly men) sleeping rough - even during the day - seems to be increasing the longer I'm here.
My excuse / rationale for photographing them is that they're adults (down on their luck or under duress perhaps) and always in public places. I've seen several possible shots of children 'resting' or sleeping, and I've avoided photographing them. Almost universally, I've found the Columbians to be friendly, polite, welcoming and patient with this idiot foreigner.
I couldn't ask for much more.
