Colombia's Colonial Jewels
Colombia had been an uninviting place in recent memory. Now many of their infamous problems have been mitigated by government efforts to defeat the drug lords and to assimilate the paramilitary and rebel groups. The country is well-known for its coffee and lesser-known for its immense flower industry. As the "gateway to South America" for colonial Spaniards, there is a legacy of Spanish architecture and peoples, offering a colorful human tapestry over the green mountains and valleys. We were startled to learn that a caste system is used to classify communities economically; although people seem to accept this concept.
