What we saw one hour into the journey driving from Bogota to Medellin on January 10. A bus tipped over, smashing all windows on the driver side and blocking traffic on both sides for miles. It has been righted in the picture. The bus still moves on its own power. Don't think anyone was seriously injured, fortunately.

Quite an image! Still got a lot of love bugs in Florida? I remember seeing car windshields covered with them. Maybe she could catch some in a jar and let the fan suck them in your direction! Now how's that for realism?

Oh man , now ur killing me. Damn love bugs still show up twice a year for around a month. Just pray they dont show up in Colombia. I heard they were let loose by accident by the university of Florida . For those who dont know about Love Buggs Keep it that way.

I live in the panhandle. We don't get lovebugs until ..... hell, I can't even remember the time of year. But they always come with a north wind, which means they come out of Alabama here. I lived in Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, and Homestead and never saw nor heard of a lovebug. In Fort Myers, it was the "no-see-ums" that drove you crazy. In Homestead it was the bull mosquitoes.
