Drove through a treacherous rocky path in the rain 4 hours straight to take a shortcut. Trying to stay upright on the slippery mud and rocks while stealing quick glances at the seemingly bottomless precipitous drop that hung out by my side for most of the journey.

It certainly makes seeing a cozy little farming town like this and the temporary clearing of rain much more of an emotional experience, Huila
