Apparently we took a wrong turn......

After saying goodbye to ze Germans Daniel and Ramona, we continued on

our journey south and stopped in a town called San Agustin, which is

known for the ancient statues guarding the entrance to the tombs they

protect. Again, the people here were very friendly and helpful. They even told us there was a much faster route to Pasto through a town called Macoa, rather than going first to Popoyan. Unfortunatley, what I didn't realize until today, just now, when updating the map, is that there are 2 roads from Macoa to San Fransisco...... one looks great on the map and the other, well the other is the one we took. It was 80 km long and climbed 3 vertical kms in 22kms at one point. Oh, did I mention it was a one lane gravel road? So yes, it was very slow going, in fact I calculated our average speed on this road to be 12 km/h. Don't get me wrong it was one of the most beautiful drives I have ever been on but it was  very, very scary- at times looking over the edge you could see straight down over 500 meters!!!!!

Before Ramona worked her magic...

Thanks Ramona for the great haircuts

A few of the great statues

Maybe we could guard tombs too?!?!

I guess we should have taken the number 10......

This is not the number 10....

Neither is this....

I have to say after all that, it was a very cool trip with views North Americans have rarely ever seen.
