                  @motojobobo What amazes me, is that there is a replica road on the hillside on the other side of the valley.....

                      Today we did a short ride, about 80 km from Libertador San Martin to Vallegrande.

                      These epiphytes, Tillandsia sp. were one of the few in bloom. Pretty, very abundant, but tiny flowers.

                          This species of Ceiba tree, common around here, has a heavily armoired trunk with thick, strong thorns. It is also unique as it produces abundant white fibers to help its tiny seeds disperse with the wind.

                            I always wonder whether those fibers would work well as threads and later woven into cloth? Just dreaming about an IH Ceiba denim!

                                        Finally rode the famous curvy mountain road to Caspala.

                                        We’re at circa 3000 mts. Solid road but not good when rainy.

                                            As today was sunny with +15 degrees Celcius me and the ol'lady decided to hop on the bikes and ride to a nearby city Lahti to have some lunch and visit Ace Cafe (1st franchised location) and motorcycle museum which is in same location.
                                            I also was able to test my new Beeline MotoII GPS/Speedo. Way better that the first edition. Recommended.
