Cali, Colombia

From Riosucio I went back to Manizales for a few days then finally started on my way towards Ecuador stopping off in a few cities along the way. My first stop was Cali. A large city in the lower planes of Colombia. It was a beautiful drive coming down from the mountains through coffee country and down into the valley filled with pineapple and sugarcane fields.





I didn't do much in the city other than walk around. I was feeling a little sick and I was fiesta-ed out betwen Manizales and Riosucio. Still, the night I arrived I did check out the bar in front of my hotel and I ended up learning a new phrase in Spanish. The doorman at the bar wanted to make sure that I knew it was a "club de ambiente". I took that to literally mean "club of ambiance" and thought it sounded harmless enough. It was a gay bar.
