Most of the time it´s easy to forget you´re not in Kansas anymore but now and then you´re reminded otherwise. The other night I was awkened in the middle of the night by the sound of helicopters and a circling airplane. It went on for over an hour. In the news the next day it was confirmed that a column of FARC guerrilla had been present in my area for several hours until about two in the morning. What I´d heard were army helicopters and a Fantasma aircraft looking for them. Officials reported later that they had evidently just been moving through on their way to another sector and didn´t cause any problems. It would have been a good night for travel since the moon was nearly full.
