Ipiales, Nariño [Colombia]

Ipiales is my last stop in Colombia.  It's a small town on the border of Colombia and Ecuador.

About 20 km outside of town, a car pulls over and a man invites me to stay at his house that night.  I'm tired, soaking wet (and have been for several days), and gladly accept.

I hurry as fast as I'm able (its hard to move when so wet and cold) to his house.  I'm greet with a warm shower and place to dry out my gear.  Nothing could possibly be better at that point!

After a short rest, I head to see the impressive "Lajas" cathedral.  This is a relatively new building that is built across a large river gorge.  The setting and architecture combine for a stunning effect.

I take my time, enjoying the sunset and evening in this unique place before heading back.

Tomorrow, Ecuador!!!
