From Here To There
It's a long way...on Saturday
We'll be met by Mauricio. Pictured with him is his wife, Claudia. More about her project in a future blog.
Mauricio will drive us to Villavicencio, southeast of Bogota and at the edge of the Llanos
The road to Villavicencio has been improved in the last couple of years

Today is our first big travel day to Latin America. We're going to be met in Bogota by our Electro-Mechanical Engineering partner, Mauricio. He'll drive us to Villavicencio...the jumping off point for the 4x4 "mudding" trip to see the electrification project he's been working on. The pictures above were taken on last year's field trip. This time we'll be in the dark. Colombia is near the equator so the sun rises and sets at six and six, every day of the year. We should be getting to our hotel in Villavicencio around 11:30, our good Lord willing.
