Cycling in Cali

It is crunch time. With only two weeks to go until Sarah and Victor arrive in Cartagena for the wedding, it is about time I practice my Spanish and learn a few dance moves. And what better place to do so than the groom's hometown - the salsa-capital of Colombia? The groom's cousin, Mario, has graciously welcomed me to stay at his apartment. He is an avid mountain biker and my first day here he dragged me along for a gruesome 2-hour uphill ride to Los Tres Cruces - a outdoor church/gym/juice bar overlooking the city. After a few more hours navigating those hilly trails, I was thankful for the opportunity to pray. But you definitely didn't see me sprinting for the weights.

Oh man... I just can't wait to be in that beautiful, mildly dangerous country... (no bias of course).

Make sure Mario takes you biking to "El Saladito"
