Phot-o' the Day: Plaza Mayor, Villa de Leyva, Colombia


Back in Black. And White.

This is the Plaza Mayor in Villa De Leya, Colombia, late morning on a hot November day. (It's near the equator, so there is no seasonal cooling in November. There's only rainy season and dry season and this is from the dry season.) Villa de Leyva is a fun little tourist magnet about four hours north of Bogota by bus (the only way to get there) (unless you have a car) (and I would not recommend driving in Colombia, especially anywhere close to Bogota) (the buses are clean, cheap and worry-free).

Villa de Leyva may be a tourist magnet, but it's not "tourist-y," because nearly all of the other tourists are from Colombia. Here's one of many travel rules: Tourist towns in foreign countries are huge fun when you're the only American tourist in town.
