We're back. . .

From a great time in San Andres, Colombia. . . Very nice little island, only a 45-minute flight from
San Jose.

According to one of the taxi drivers that we rode with, the island was originally British, then was given over to Nicaragua and now it's with Colombia. This was explained as we were standing by the roadside while Colombian soldiers with automatic rifles searched the cab for drugs and arms--they came up empty. ("This is what they do, they are bored," said the driver.)

We had a great time and wouldn't mind going back at some point. It was kind of like a cruise on dry land, as all meals, drinks and activities were included in the stay.

We'll post more pics and tales in the next couple of days as time allows.
