Our first tour was of an orchid garden in the town of Fusa.
This orchid is the national flower of Colombia.
The gardens were lovely, hilly, and hot. We got a nice little workout.
This goose followed us around. Even though we were higher in the mountains than Bogota, it was much hotter. We had Silas all bundled up when we left, but when we got here we had to take off his long sleeves and socks so he would be comfortable. It was very hot for us.
Orchid and bromelia nursery.
Goldfish pond.
The bromelias grow huge here in the tropical climate (weird to think of the mountains as tropical).
Bromelias and orchids grow in trees. We had no idea and were amazed by what we saw.
The greenery you see in this tree is not the tree, but bromelias and orchids.
Silas did great the whole day of our trip. We love our little guy!
Lucia also did great. There was an orange tree, and Jorge Rico picked one for her.
At the end of our tour, Lucia took a quick little rest.
Lunch at Solomillo. It was a nice restaurant. We learned that the biggest meal of the day in Colombia is lunch. This helps explain why our lunches are so big at our hotel.
