Mocoa
Mocoa is a small city built on the banks a river with a population of around 50,000 people. There was heavy rainfall and eventually some huge boulders got loose enough that a chain reaction started and the soil slid right through larg parts of the city. The result was devastating, an estimated 1,200 people (or 500 families) we killed in the landslide, many more were injured and lost their home. It's hard to imagine what it looks like, but there is still a pile of boulders as wide as a road and 10-15ft high, that goes from where the landslide began, all the way down into the city. Even 5 months later the affects are quite visible. Day 1 Tuesday night I sat on the couch with my backpack packed, ready for the 12 hour journey on a bus to Mocoa. We planned on leaving late, but what time that actually meant, wasn't clear. I eventually decided to try to sleep, I was ready anyway. At 2:30am I felt someone push my leg. It was time to go. I stood up front the couch...
