ReplyDeleteWhen I was 17, my sister and I visited my father in Bogota, Columbia.
ReplyDeleteHe was Sales Manager for International Harvester in South America and the company paid for travel for family visits.
While there, I went with a few young male children of my father's acquaintances and business associates on a camping trip to Lake "Laguna De Fuquene".
Early the first morning I got up and took a walk around the camp site by the lake, venturing into the woods close by.
I saw a creature that totally amazed me.
I hurried back to the camp site and told the other guys that I'd seen the biggest hamster I'd ever seen, anywhere.
They laughed.
Then they explained that I'd seen a Capybara.
Getting to S America from Oz used to be a real hassle Mike W. Must have been quite an adventure.
ReplyDeleteYes, Bruce, it was quite an adventure.
ReplyDeleteTravelled across the Pacific to Los Angeles, then a change of plane to a Columbia Airlines plane(they had quite a reputation as unsafe), then Mexico and Bogota.
A lot of poverty in Bogota; even in the well-to-do suburb where my father lived.
The natives would set up little shacks, built from whatever was on hand, on vacant lots right alongside the wealthy; they'd throw a cable up to the nearest source of electricity and get free electricity off the grid; must have been terribly unsafe.
We were warned not to travel alone in downtown Bogota and about the gangs of street urchins; they'd cut the watch right off your wrist if you weren't careful, lol.
And there were gangs of bandits in the mountains.
