Guarding the dead's.

San Agustin is a tiny and boring town. It's nothing really to do there except the archeological park and surroundings.  I did really enjoy to see all those different old stone figures thats made to guard the graves. They usually have something in there hand, that archeology's things its weapons. The biggest one is 7m high and massive. The bigger ones has a weight of a couple of tons. Big bustards.  Spend first half day walking in the park seeing 135 different statues. Interesting but for me, that was enough.. The other half of the day we spend on horseback, going up on the hills looking at more statues, some painted in black, white, red and yellow. Exiting to see painted ones after 140 non-painted. The best was to be on the horse. Special when my horse loved to gallop. Awesome views overlooking the valley too. Couldn't have a better day.  We were supposed to leave the next day but got stuck in the mudd for almost 4 hours. We were all muddlooking figures after that and the dirt road to Popayan over the mountains takes a day of driving and its not safe to get stuck overthere so we it turned out to have a full day in San Augustin. Not to fascinated.  So, here we are heading for Quito, Ecuador and our last destination together. Some is going home and some will keep traveling. I'm gonna stay on the truck to Lima, Peru. And then going south and all by myself. I feel more than ready to do something by myself rigth now. It's about time. Even thoue I'm gonna miss all of them.  - Newton Faulkner - Lipstick jungle.
