Cali for Monica and Paul’s wedding…

I was honored to be invited to my dear friends’ wedding in Cali. We stayed at an Airbnb mansion and I was so blessed to be welcomed so graciously by her family. We had such a great time. Everyone’s family and the place was amazing.

After the wedding was a very fun reception. It went pretty late (sorry I had to nap on a couch at times…). The next day we went to the Cali zoo. It is a magnificent zoo and I had such a great time with her family.

A spoonbill. I waited forever for it to raise its head!
This little monkey was no larger than my hand. So cute!

As luck would have it, my knee swelled up training for the Camino de Santiago for September. Now I need to have a right knee replacement which has limited a lot of what I wanted to do (used a cane and also wheelchairs in airports…). From here I go to Medellin but will cut the rest of my trip short.
