Day 362 - San Matias Valdivia

April 27th
(Ursula) The early morning was refreshing. Shortly after 6 AM, the first sun rays appeared, and a horse was grazing near our campers. We planned to be on the road early today, but the men still had their heads stuck under the engine hood, working on our carburetor. We finally left after lunch.

We had no desire to stay in Medellin, although it was probably a lovely city. We only saw a mix of new and older buildings and many slums on the outskirts. But the location in this high valley was picturesque, with the mountains in the background.

We didn't expect the road to again lead us over so many mountains today. Ellen was getting impatient to find a place to camp for the night, and we found a friendly Hacienda after San Matias Valdivia.
