On the Road Again...

We are leaving again tomorrow on a new adventure, so I'd better get the first adventure wrapped up.

Yes, the driving was a thing, but the places we visited were amazing. We spent a week in San Antero, near Coveñas.

There were 14 of us staying at a "house" that was not really a house, more like a little complex on the beach. There was a kitchen and five bedrooms spread between two buildings. Then there was a big palm-thatched pavilion with five hammocks and a long table for meals. All this was right on the water.

We spent our days relaxing and eating yummy food. It was a real struggle. We selected menu items from a list and provided the ingredients, and Adelina and Marleny did all the cooking. We had all the greatest hits from the Colombian Atlantic coast: coconut rice, fried fish, lots of shrimp, plantains, yuca, arepa de huevo...

We lost track of how many naps we had in the hammocks. We would settle in to read, but we just kept drifting off. Awesome.

In the afternoons we had shrimp cocktails on call. We contacted the guy on WhatsApp and set the time, and he stopped by with his cooler and his expertise. So, so, so yummy!

We also had cheese, fruit, and fresh fish from people who stopped by every morning. We could place special orders one day to be delivered the next. We were spoiled rotten the whole week.

About an hour into the return video game session, my sister-in-law suggested we take a detour for one more night at Mompox. A few WhatsApp calls later we were on our way. Why not?

Catching Up

I can't believe I've not written anything since Bill arrived. We've been busy...

Bill's first week here kicked paperwork and such into high gear. Unfortunately, much of the paperwork and office visits resulted in absolutely no progress. There's so much we can't do until Bill has a cédula de extranjería. Oh, well...

Meanwhile we went on vacation with the fam. We left early on Saturday morning, around 4:30am, to drive to the Atlantic Coast. That was interesting: new car, unknown Colombian roads, Bill and my parents in the car. It was the hardest video game I ever played.

Here's how it goes: It's a first-person game and you are driving a car. The roads have lines marking the lanes but they don't really mean anything. The first level is leaving the city, easy-peasy. Next you go up the western side of the valley, the steeper one, on a road nicknamed Matasanos (helathy people killer). There are large trucks and buses on the road with you and there are only two lanes, one going in each direction, no median, negligible shoulder, frequent dips from the mountain slipping a bit, and a massive drop to the bottom of the valley to your right. To keep up with your teammates, you need to pass the trucks all the way to the top of the mountain. The way down is slightly less curvy and at the end of this stage you get breakfast. Absolutely the most delicious pandequesos ever.

The next stage involves another uphill trek, this one less steep, but potholes are introduced. And, on the downhill stretch, on the way to a place called Valdivia, the road is more like a giant stairway: relatively flat bits in between some of the steepest drops I've ever driven on. Also, bikes and tuk-tuks are introduced. You have to pass them without killing anyone.

From Valdivia on to Puerto Valdivia, the next level in the game, the road is curvy but flat, and now people selling stuff are introduced. Don't stop and don't kill anyone and keep up with the rest of the team driven by seasoned Colombian trekkers.

The next level lasts six hours. The drive is on the coastal plain, so flat and mostly straight, but the obstacles here are truly next level: Potholes big enough to swallow your car, donkey carts, dogs sleeping on the road, and cows. The cows can be just one or a whole herd blocking the road. And everything speeds up to about 120km/h. There are also trees along the side of the road, so it is hard to tell what is a pothole and what is a shadow from the trees. Sometimes they are mixed together.

As the game progresses, more and more motorcycles are introduced. There is a bonus level through a town called Lorica that must hold the world record for the number of motorcycles on the road at one time. Literally hundreds of them going in every direction at every speed and stopping to chat anywhere. Here you have to negotiate complex intersections mixing bikes, people, buses, and motorcycles. You can call a teammate for some help at this point. To save you the call, here's what you do: find a bigger vehicle going in the same direction and follow them bumper to bumper so you can travel in their wake.

Truly, the most challenging video game I've ever played.

But, to be honest, San Antero, the beach, the food, and all the time sleeping in the shade in a hammock was worth the 10 hours in the car.

I'll add pix to the next post, and then we'll get into the return trip. Kick up the obstacles into high gear the second time you play this game.
