Inca Pilgrimage with my daughter Susie, Part I

Susie and I are having a great time on our 5 week pilgrimage. One week down and four to go.
Our first week was spent visiting interesting places of Colombia. We went to the fantastic Museum of Gold in Bogota. On the outskirts of town we toured the huge underground Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira, where the miners built a cathedral to the patron saint, the Virgin of Zipaquira.
Further away from Bogota, we ventured to the ancient site of San Agustin, where the civilization of San Agustin left fantastic statues and sculptures of their culture. To get to some of the sculptures, Susie and I rode on horses with a group of Irish ladies. Susie and I survived the thrilling and fast horse ride. Susie made sure we visited the White City of Popayan, where the buildings are all painted white. Teresa showed us the sights of the city, including a nice viewpoint from a hilltop. Teresa also planned a day trip with a picnic to the green-yellow sulfuric pools of Coconuco, where hot steaming water from volcanic vents brought the healing water to place called Agua Hirviendo.
Yesterday, we took a bus from Popayan to the border town between Colombia and Ecuador. Ipiales has the sacred site of the Sanctuary of the Lady of Las Lajas, where the Virgen appeared to a little deaf-mute girl, and she told her mother that the Mestisa lady called me. Many miracles have been reported to have taken place at the awe-inspiring pilgrimage site, where a large cathedral-type building seems to rise from the rock alongside a river and a waterfall.
Now we are in Quito, Ecuador. We will be touring the city and then planning our next several days in Ecuador, hopefully seeing the sites that this green country has to offer. And then we'll head to Peru and Bolivia.
Susie said she will try to get some photos of our trip onto her Facebook page.
Onward in our journey!
