back in Colombia..
Saying goodbye to Colombia was difficult and I was feeling a bit "nostalgic" for Colombia. I spent the after in Tulcan visiting the Jardine at Cementario. It's beautiful spruce topiaries are out of this world. I also tried to understand Rabindranath Tagore's quotes found in this Jardine and reading families tributes to their loved ones.

Then I ran into a Ecuadorian cellelares tienda owner who suggested I rode to Tufino next day.
So next day I packed up everything and rode bike to Tufino just to get my riding confidence back. It was a beautiful ride along Ecuadorian-Colombian border and I was still longing for Colombia. So endedup official salida Ecuador and ingresso Colombia at Tufino border crossing.
Riding back in Colombia was the best feeling.
So now I had a second chance to visit Colombia and spend more time with my friend, Jesus and his familia.
So I spent one night at Cumbal, Colombia and next day I rode to Ipiales. This time I got to visit Jesus' farm where he's "hand" building a farmhouse as and when he's money,time. So it has taken 3 years but is truly something.
After bidding bye to Jesus and his familia a second time I bid adieu to Colombia and re-entered Ecuador for second time.
Before leaving Ipiales, Jesus gifted me with one of his biking jerseys and then stiched a top-tube maleta para mi bici..
Today's ride: 60 miles (97 km)
Total: 894 miles (1,439 km)
