There And Back Again

To get to the hike, we had to ride a bus through the town here, and another in a valley nearby. The roads are crazy, and are either cobblestoned, or have tons of speed bumps on them. The valleys here remind me of Jurrassic park. They´re incredibly green, and the clouds drift through the passes because we´re at this altitude.

Concrete and cinder block houses fill most of the valley floors, and rebar pokes out of the columns in people´s roofs. Apparently this allows you to classify your house as unfinished, and get out of some taxes. Bundles of pvc pipes carry water to people´s houses.

The houses are all painted in colorful ways. Fields of crops surround the small town, and overfill the valley floor. I´m reminded of the scene in inception where the ground turns upward, and the city is sideways, because the fields continue in nice little rectangles, even up the hills and through the forest.
