![]() Tammy on the day I taught her to ride. What better bike to learn on than a pink XR100? She was a quick study and did well. Now the hard part is getting her to slow down!

Yesterday morning I rode the mountain bike up our local Badger Mountain. I know not a mountain by Spuds standards LOL. But, at 1540 feet, it is still a challenge to pedal a bicycle up it. It was nice to get on top of the fog that was covering the Columbia River Valley.

The white RX3 motorcycles look particularly good at night.

It's not what you think.

Geographical center of Colombia
A nice day trip thats only about an hour from me. The monument sits high on a plateau. This is outside the Andes Mountains in the Eastern plains of Colombia. Between Villavicencio and Puerto Lopez in the department (state) of Meta. About 4 hours or so from Bogota. Many tourists come here from Bogota for weekends and holidays because of the hot weather. Historically this area has been more dangerous due to guerrilla activity. I know Colombia has many many problems, just like any other country, just some worse than others. I have been here 4 years and have never felt unsafe. I try to always be aware of my surroundings and not to put myself in an area or situation that welcomes trouble. I read an excellent quote on another forum, maybe ADVrider, they said ...There are a lot more good people here than there are bad people..and I truly believe that from personal experience. I was born and raised in Florida and spent 2 years in Colorado before moving here and I can say without a doubt the people here are much more tolerant of a visitor that doesnt speak their language than we are in the USA. I have never had an issue because of language, people are always polite and helpful. I am leery of gringo pricing so I try to shop around but most people are good about honoring local prices. If not I walk away with a polite thank you. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Colombia you wont be disappointed. Its a beautiful country with amazing people. Plus a $2.00 lunch that cant be beat. Every restaurant around offers fast lunch specials usually around $2 or $3 USD. Meat, rice, beans or potato, sweet plantain, salad, soup and fruit juice. Everything fresh and nothing from a can. Of course we have some real fast food, McDonalds style places where a burger with soda and fries will cost your about $7 or $8 USD which is crazy to me when you compare it to the fast lunch specials.

Speaking of food...
This is an example of our local pizza joint. Very reasonable for what you get. Cheaper than Round Table.

Damn!!! Ok Stop.... now that makes me hungry. I miss a really really good pizza. We have lots of pizza here but most places dont know what sauce is. Yes, pizza without sauce. We have a few decent places and just recently we got a Papa Johns and a Dominoes but not a huge fan of those. Theres a little mom and pop place that makes a great 8¨personal pizza loaded with toppings for $2 USD. The same pizza from Papa Johns with less toppings will run you about double that. Yes, im cheap!!
