…and more on Mompox…

Another blog a few entries down (it was on my magical journey to Mompox, Colombia) told about the isolated and surreal nature of that beautiful town.  We had to take a ferry ride down the Magdalena River to get there, and I mentioned in the blog that my ride leader, Juan Carlos, had told me they would soon be building a bridge to Mompox.  Well, they are, and here’s a video Juan sent to me about it…

There’s an old saying that goes something along the lines of “bad roads bring good people, and good roads bring bad people…”   I think Mompox is going to change with improved access.  I’m glad I saw it when I did.   It was a special place on a special ride.
