A Weekend Getaway

The Plaza Mayor- one of the largest cobblestone 

plazas in the Americas

In February, as part of a three day weekend, we traveled to Villa de Leyva - one of Colombian's most scenic colonial towns.

The Mudejar Fountain that served as the village's
sole water source for centuries.

The best part of the weekend was staying at the
home of one of our colleagues. What a treat
 it was for our cell group to share the
weekend in this amazing beautiful, quaint,
and peaceful setting!

The "bunk house" where we slept

                                                      .

One of the other houses- notice the fun windows!

                                           

 A view from the inside. You can feel the love and
creativity that William and Bonnie put into the
design and construction of each and every detail!

A cemetery we found on the walk into town

                                               

          

                             

Karen's fascination with
Colombian doors and doorways continues!

                                           

Our afternoon walking around town- so quaint!

One of our favorite parts of the
weekend was a 3 hour horse
back ride- complete with a river crossing!

A perfect ending to a really wonderful weekend!
