I just back from Thailand. I was mostly in the north. Lot of good food to eat. Lot of interesting culture to learn about. Lot of bang for buck.

I head for Medellin's new airport near Rio Negro. I haven't been to Medellin since 1967. Imagin that there have been a few changes. I stayed in Medellin in the '60s, may not this time. Ifeel more comfortable in smaller places.

My 'plan' for this trip was to take a qwuick look at the Andean Highlands of Venezuela and then go on to explore Bolivia pretty well. I have only set foot in Venezuel and only imagined Bolivia as I looked accross Titicaca. So both are new to me. More generally I am looking for a place to stay for a couple of months or so that has excellent air quality and has a very inexpensive cost of living.

I'm on my way to Colombia because Bolivian visa, or no visa, requirements seem to be in fluk and Flights to Venezuela relatively expensive. Besides Colombia is beautiful and the people in the highlands representative of the highest culture to be found in the Americas.

For now I will play it by ear, follow my nose, and do what comes naturally.

Probably best to find me here, but you might check http://isness-primordial.blogspot.com as well.
