Couchsurfing in Armenia and Popayan

Ok, thought I'd try something new and venture into the Couchsurfing thing and I've had really good experiences.  Things don't always work out and you aren't always able to make connections with initial contacts, but I think it can be a  really good base for making people connections, finding friends in a new place and getting to know the country.  I really appreciated it, especially when I was traveling by myself and looking for some good company.  I went out dancing in Armenia on a Tuesday night (this means we picked all the songs they played), ate higado and kind of liked it, rode on a motorcycle with my huge backpacker bag, learned how to DRIVE the moto (and it was a manual might I add, only stalled out several times...  Don't worry mom, it was on dirt, not a main highway), explored the local market and wandered into art museums with a local university English teacher.  Sweet!  Thank you Frany and Pilar for awesome experiences.  Check out the fun times we had below, entire family, bro, cousin, other Argentinian Couchsurfer included...
