This started out as a travel blog about my world travels starting in but due to poor health I ended the travel blog but continue to blog on other topics. Start reading at the beginning of the archives for the travel blog. Contact me at: jimfrogs gmail.
Post a Comment. I took a side trip to San Andres island Columbia. I did a tour trip that was all inclusive. One of my girlfriends from Costa Rica came with me. It was her first flight ever and she had some serious white knuckles on the takeoff and landing. We picked a poor time to go because there was a hurricane swirling out in the gulf. Our flight from Panama City was delayed for hours while the storm passed over near to the island.
I tried to get our trip changed to a later date but since we were already into it they refused to cancel or change anything. We finally took off and made it to the airport at San Andres about two hours after the storm went by. It was still pouring tropical rain.
We transferred to our hotel and took showers and rested a bit before going down to eat our all inclusive dinner. It sucked. I guess I just don't like Columbian style food. They seem to bread and deep fry everything. There is about a half inch thick coating of greasy breading over everything and for bread they eat deep fried balls of dough with some cheese thrown in just to make sure the fat and cholesterol content are sufficient to clog up even the healthiest hearts. I could not eat food like this.
So we went out to find some healthier food. There were some broken windows in some of the shops and almost no people on the streets since a hurricane had passed only a few hours earlier. All the trees were stripped of their leaves and there was debris all over the streets from the big blow. We went to every open restaurant we could find and they all had the same deep fried food. I finally found a restaurant that claimed to have fresh vegetables and European style food and we went in to eat.
