Today we took our rented van up and out of the Medellin valley to the east. This area is known as the "Oriente." You can see by the picture that it is a higher elevation area with lots of evergreens and large rocky landscapes. The area has many cold weather farms (onions, carrots, cauliflower), some ranches, but mostly vacation farms for the wealthy people of Medellin. The trip was fun although the van was somewhat rickety and the driver was not the best navigator. As our cousin Elba Cecilia said, "If it was not for Nora, we would have been lost in the town of Guatape." Believe me - it was funny when she said it in Spanish.
