Villa de Leyva

Our first trip as a couple after Jaime's surgery included a visit to Villa de Leyva, a well-preserved colonial town in a mild climate.




The streets are paved with stone. And sometimes a beer tastes good.

Both residential and religious buildings are maintained and kept up to code. This is the window from the dining room of the hosteria.








Big trucks and buses don't fit.







There are fossils in the area.



























The main plaza is huge, but the Convent of the Carmelitas Descalzas, where there are nuns who never leave, has a mass that is sublime. The churches are ornate. The material in construction is adobe.
