Cali, Colombia For Christmas: No Snow And No Guerrillas

     A check of the US State Department’s Travel Advisory site warned Americans against traveling to Colombia.  Greg looked at Donna-Rae and said, “Well, shall we be bunnies and avoid Colombia, or shall we ignore the wisdom of the Great White Father in Washington, DC and celebrate Christmas with the Colombians in Cali?” 

     Donna-Rae said “I can’t wrinkle my nose like a bunny for long.  Didn’t you go there before when it was dangerous?”

    Greg answered, “Nope, when I was there it was REALLY dangerous. Now Colombia is only about as dangerous as Los Angeles.”

     Throwing the advice of the US Government out the window, the non-bunnies Donna-Rae and Greg vectored into Cali.


Donna-Rae makes a new friend, Gloria Geisener, on a day ride into the Mafia owned hills outside of Cali.  While we saw no FARC guerrillas, did not get kidnapped or shot, we also did see any snow on Christmas Day, other than what was on the TV.
