Kyle and Yuki have let. Their visit only lasted about 10 days. We visited Tolu and Cartagena, and spent some quality time with the beaches, islands and Historical sites on the coast of Colombia. The time there was very enjoyable, and passed too quickly. Torin and I are back at his house, and the sweating, itching and burning are back in full force
I have got another two weeks here fending off the sun, bloodsucking bus, and energetic children with no-one else to bother. This will probably be the most relaxed part of this trip, though. Here, a lot of time is spent indoors, or swimming at the canal. and a significant amount of time will be spent just preparing food.
At this point in my trip I have broken both my primary and spare cameras, and had to send my beloved Fujica home with Kyle. The Canon backup has to be wound with pliers for now, because I have lost the crank. I can make do with it for now.
While we had internet at a hostel in Cartagena, I purchased a used Nikon F2 on Ebay. It will arrive in Seattle while I am here, but will likely be by photographic equipment for the next year or so. I have resolved to get a case for it so that it doesn’t share the same fate as my current equipment. I will probably also purchase a replacement for the ST-801 because I love that camera so much, and it’s glass is so good.
