• Day 358 - Honda

    April 23, 1975 in Colombia

    (Ursula) Our plans for today went haywire.

    I didn't want to give up on that leather jacket! And back we went to the leather goods district. But again, I couldn't find anything that fit me. How disappointing! On the other hand, the men were interested in buying bronze Conquistador stirrups.

    Gregor acquired a simple one that I also liked. The dealer was unpacking a new supply, and Heinz picked out an exceptional one that was unpolished for 50% off.

    Heinz was happy when we finally left Bogotá. For me, it was different. The better you know a city, the more difficult it is to say goodbye. All the leather goods drove me a little crazy, though!

    We stayed at a Hacienda this evening just before crossing the river near Honda. We were again at a lower elevation and could feel the sub-tropical warmth and humidity. Fortunately, there were no mosquitoes!
