City of Yarumal

Yarumal is a very cool little town built on the side of a steep mountain. As such, it is almost as vertical as it is horizontal. Check out this tricycle race they have through their town: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCDzYgGyDhs.

The temperature dropped significantly. I needed to wear pants and a jacket in the evening.

It looked like a bit of a party town too, but I was too tired to venture out past 8pm on Saturday night.

It had a very nice little center. This was a good town to rest my legs for a day.

The day I was leaving I had an early morning. At about 5:00 AM, I hear what I think are gun shots. Then I keep hearing them every few minutes. Then I hear a car pass with loud speakers playing what sounds line evangelical music and a speaker saying something religious. After a couple more “shots”, I look out my window and see they are shooting off some kind of bottle rockets. There are a number of people by the church. Apparently, it is some kind of religious holiday. As a non-Catholic, I am not sure what it is, but do they really need to start it at 5:00 AM????
