Q: Custom auth module for JASPI authentication in wildfly I need to use a custom auth module for JASPI authentication in wildfly. My standalone-full.xml:
<security-domain name="testlogin" cache-type="default">
  <authentication-jaspi>
    <login-module-stack name="1m-stack">
      <login-module code="com.test.TestLoginModule" flag="required" module="in.hrworks.testmodule">
        <module-option name="dsJndiName" value="java:jboss/datasources/Appscale"/>
      </login-module>
    </login-module-stack>
    <auth-module code="com.test.JASPILoginModule" login-module-stack-ref="1m-stack"/>
  </authentication-jaspi>
</security-domain>

My jboss-web.xml:
 <security-domain>testlogin</security-domain>
 <valve>
    <class-name>org.jboss.as.web.security.jaspi.WebJASPIAuthenticator</class-name>
 </valve>

When I request the application url, I'm getting a NoClassDefFoundError:
Context Path:

I've also added the custom module in.hrworks.testmodule as a dependency in module.xml for org.jboss.as.security module. But that doesn;t seem to have any effect.
Am I making any mistakes?
Some updates:
After enabling TRACE level logging for org.jboss.modules I found my module missed a dependency for javax.security.auth.message.api. But after adding this dependency I'm getting a different error:

I'm not positive, but I think there is something about Mary. After all, October is the month of the Rosary. If you are interested here is a great Marian site about the rosary. Rosary Army Also, they do a great Podcast. If you haven't been listening to pod casting you need to get with it. Pod casting is amazing.


In this solo episode, Mike discusses the code refactoring process and then deep dives on work/life balance.
Depending on your situation though it might be an advantage, if your wife works from home also, you can sometimes spend the best parts of the day together.
A structured day is great, but everyone has a different work rhythm and being able to structure your day based on that can greatly increase productivity.
If your considering freelancing you have to be able to structure your own days, which seems simple but can really be a challenge.

Q: Midlet v/s Phone Browser app pros and cons? How do you weight the pros and cons between a Midlet and Browser based client/server app for a phone ...
What are the pros and cons of both...
And based on your experience what will you prefer to go in for and why?
I have listed some points based on which we can compare both feel free to add your own...

*

*Rapid development.

*Rich UI.

*Mild data transfer between client and server.

*Ease of use.

*Portability.

*Wide phone target audience.

A: The general answer is: It depends. Without knowledge of the goal, is it hard to suggest the road to it.
What type of application are you going to make?
What is most important? Performance or rapid development? Which features do you need? Database, inter-client communications? Do you need specific UI-elements, which is hard to create on a webpage? Do you need it to be portable? Which devices do you want to target? And a lot more questions...

A: Here's a great blog post tackling this exact issue.  I used to work with the poster and know he's spent a significant amount of time on both sides of the fence, mobile app development and mobile web development, to have a well formed opinion on the subject.
APPropos? Are native mobile apps as supportable as mobile web apps?
I myself have only worked on the mobile apps side of things and there really isn't anything rapid or portable about the process, especially when your target platform is...all of them.  However, mobile web apps will of course not allow you to supply as robust a feature set as a native app.  It's all about trade-offs and concessions in the general mobile space at this time, and I think your taking the right approach to figuring out what is more important to your project.

Samsung Exec Claims Andy Rubin Was Hard to Work With at Times in Regards to Android
Tim March 22, 2013 @timotato 63
During a very recent on-stage interview Thursday afternoon, Samsung chief product officer Kevin Packingham told the Wall Street Journal that the relationship between Google and Samsung has grown very strong over the last two years. But over that time, work with Android's ex-head, Andy Rubin was sometimes a bit difficult.
Packingham stated that once Rubin had his mind set a certain way with his direction for Android, "you weren't going to get him to deviate from that position." Interestingly enough, Packingham says that Android's new boss, Sundar Pichai is a, "super nice person," and that he is, "super collaborative."
Now, if I may just have a moment to speculate freely – If I heard that the founder of Android was protective or "stubborn" on his positions for Android's future, and Android is what it is today, then I would say he was doing the right thing. Android is not in a bad place because of Rubin's leadership. In fact, I can't imagine it being in a much better position than it is today.
With a Samsung executive saying Sundar is more "collaborative," should we expect some type of changes for Android? Will Google allow Samsung more free-will in any type of "changes" they may want in the future? Our new head of Android has been in charge for no more than a week or so, so it's still too early to see what type of impact he will have on the OS.
All I can say is, stay tuned because this should be a good one.

State: Chico's population grows by more than…
State: Chico's population grows by more than 19,000
Most growth from Camp Fire survivors
The Chico City Council meets in March in the Council Chambers. (Matt Bates ‖ Enterprise-Record)
PUBLISHED: May 7, 2019 at 10:50 pm | UPDATED: May 8, 2019 at 11:33 am
CHICO — Chico has the distinction of being California's fastest growing city, thanks in large part to the Camp Fire.
Last week, the state Department of Finance released the figures, with Chico having grown by 20.7 percent as of Jan. 1, 2019. The population as of the new year was 112,111, according to the state, up by an estimated 19,250 people from a year earlier.
City Manager Mark Orme told the City Council Tuesday that it was "a huge relief" to actually have hard numbers rather than suppositions or assumptions.
Until this data was released by the state, Orme had been using a best-guess estimate of 10,000 to 15,000, as far as Camp Fire survivors living in Chico.
The state figure is an estimate, but also includes people moving into Chico for other reasons. The state came to those figures by gathering data from other government agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, as well as local and county government agencies.
The state also noted that the population of Oroville had increased as well, by 20.4 percent. Its population measured 18,091 on Jan. 1, 2018, and 21,773 on Jan. 1, 2019.
For Chico, that data put a face on the issue of housing, traffic, demand on sewer capacity, water use and other indications of a growing city.
City officials have said that the population and traffic impacts are more like those expected by 2030.
City finance manager Scott Dowell put another face on the Camp Fire impact during the council meeting, saying responding to the fire had cost the city more than $1 million in staff and operational expenses.
"We're working to get reimbursement from the county, FEMA and Cal OES," he told the council during a budget presentation on Tuesday. "We're not expecting to get 100 percent reimbursement."
The Camp Fire also came up during budget revenue discussions, with Dowell telling the council that the city lost transient occupancy tax dollars, which are a city tax associated with hotel and motel stays. After a room is occupied more than 30 days, the transient occupancy tax is not assessed, meaning Chico lost those dollars.
However, Dowell noted local lodging businesses were noting room vacancies, which means the tax would again be assessed with a new room occupant.
As far as the outlook for sales tax revenue, which also has a Camp Fire component, Dowell said the city is expecting growth of 3 to 5 percent.
Housing issues were also part of the Camp Fire impact, with the council possibly talking about Assemblyman James Gallagher's proposed AB 430. However, the discussion was slated to occur after this publication's deadline.
The council was heading for a vote on an ordinance regarding emergency housing standards that would allow sleeping cabins, transportable housing units, tents and support facilities. Approval of the amended ordinance was still under discussion at deadline, but Councilor Scott Huber had made a motion for approval.

However, Councilor Sean Morgan asked when does the emergency status end, and that the ordinance could leave Chico with the substandard housing.
However Deputy Community Development Director Brendan Vieg noted the standards included in Chico's ordinance are recognized throughout the state, and this is not substandard housing.

'Am I in Hell?': What I Saw at South Korea's Deadliest Halloween
A VICE editor describes the surreal moment of seeing the dead, while others partied around them.

Seoul Crowd Crush: The Split-Second Decisions That Separated Life and Death

SEOUL — I arrived in the snazzy nightlife district of Itaewon with a light-hearted reporting assignment: to capture the excitement of Halloween in the Korean capital. I didn't expect to witness one of South Korea's worst tragedies in modern history.
I headed down to the neighborhood with our photographer, Baek Yun-beom, at around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, looking to cover an event that was special to many Koreans and novel for some.
Halloween was not a popular tradition in the country until recent years, when more and more young Koreans embraced the occasion to go clubbing and carousing in all kinds of crazy costumes.
We interviewed people about the joys of not having to wear a mask on a night out for the first time in years—South Korea lifted its outdoor mask mandate only a month ago—and not having to worry about what the public might say. Last year, some were criticized for partying during the pandemic. That night was also about celebrating their freedom.
But an unsettling feeling swelled up in us three hours later, when we saw rescue workers nervously pacing near a sloped alleyway. The narrow street was brimming with people, and it seemed no one could leave or enter.
At least two-thirds of the victims were in their 20s. Photo: Baek Yun-beom
It would later turn into a crowd crush that killed at least 155 people that night. Among them, 26 were foreigners, according to the South Korean government. At least two-thirds of those who died were in their 20s.
We went to different parts of Itaewon that Saturday night. We were confused by what we saw: blood and people lying in the streets, rescue workers and firefighters in trucks appealing to people to clear the road in order to pass.
We weren't alone in feeling disoriented. I asked a 20-year-old man named Park Seung-jun, who told me the alleyway was already jammed at 6 p.m. "We saw rescuers carrying people on a stretcher around 10:30 p.m. after dinner, but we thought it would end soon. But it wasn't over," he said.

The horror of the night finally hit us at around 11:30 p.m., when we returned to a street just across the alleyway. There was talk about dozens of people who had cardiac arrest.
Then we saw many bodies on the ground, lying motionless, and ordinary citizens desperately performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), trying to save lives. It was surreal, and devastating, for me to process what I witnessed the first time of my life. I remember asking myself at that moment: "Am I in hell?"
The scene only became more morbid. In front of me, people were dying, or were already dead, but surrounding them were others still partying in costumes—dressing up as the Grim Reaper, literally death personified—to loud music.
It seemed people were either too curious—many tried to film the scene—or apathetic. I wondered if they were unaware of what was happening, or were just trying to get past the tragedy unfolding before them. "Put down your phones," the police yelled at onlookers.

Baek approached the crowd surge's ground zero to document it. He described a sight that will haunt me for a long time: A man, wearing blue jeans, was performing CPR on someone already covered in a cloth presumably by rescuers, "frantically, as if he was possessed."
Another 20 or 30 bodies were also covered and placed in a row, likely because they were already pronounced dead, he said.

At around 1:30 a.m. the next day, I headed to Soonchunhyang University Hospital, about half a mile away from Itaewon. Dozens of ambulances flashed their red lights non-stop. It was another hell, for the living.
"Why won't they let me in? They won't let me anywhere. Where am I supposed to go?" a middle-aged woman said in tears as she looked for the hospital's emergency room. It was taking too long to identify the victims, she said to herself.
Another man in a similar age sat on the ground, weeping bitterly.
The South Korean government declared a period of national mourning until November 5. It's this devastation sinking in now, losing our young, that we have to deal with.

'I do not know that man. I didn't do anything!': A woman who tried to share footage of the explosion near Beijing's US Embassy was forced into a car and driven away

A woman who tried to share photos and videos of the explosion outside Beijing's US embassy with media was forcibly removed and driven away screaming.
The woman was wrangled by plainclothes men who said they were dealing with a "family matter," but the woman yelled, "I do not know that man. I didn't do anything! I was just a bystander!"
Censorship of controversial thoughts and political incidents is common in China, as the government tries to maintain the stability and power of the Communist Party.
The woman's videos seemed to be blocked from being sent before her disappearance, and within hours the explosion had been censored online.
Men dressed in plainclothes grabbed a woman who tried to share footage of an explosion outside Beijing's US Embassy on Thursday, forced her into a car, and drove her away as she screamed.
An explosion occurred near the US Embassy as a device was reportedly detonated; media descended on the scene to verify reports. Citizens began trying to share images and videos with journalists on the ground but the woman, who was reportedly trying to share footage a friend had given to her, was soon dragged away.
According to footage from Becky Davis, Agence France-Presse's China correspondent, the woman was taken across the street and into a waiting car.
"Take her into the hotel," the man in the green shirt said, according to Davis' translation.
"Get out of here quick. Dad's waiting for you at home," he said, before yelling "This is a family matter!"
But according to Davis the woman screams "I do not know that man. I didn't do anything! I was just a bystander!"
While it's unclear who exactly the men were and why they took the woman, Davis said it seems common for police in plainclothes to act as family members, likely in an attempt to draw less attention. After the incident Davis asked a police officer what the woman did wrong and where she had been taken.
"I'm enforcing the law," the man said.
China is infamous for its internet censorship that seeks to suppress ideas and content that could undermine the authority and stability of the Chinese Communist Party. This frequently extends into the real world with activists and ordinary citizens arrested or "disappeared" for sharing controversial content online or even just in text messages with friends.
Even before she was taken, the woman had successfully shared images with journalists on WeChat, but despite multiple attempts her videos were never received.
Within a few hours all posts about Thursday's explosion, including one hashtag that had received 1 million views, had reportedly been censored on Weibo. Later, media outlets' coverage was un-censored but all ordinary user content including footage was still censored.

Match day 25 of the English Premier League kicked off early with Spurs hosting Newcastle United at the Wembley Stadium.
Lucas Moura should have given Spurs an early lead in the 17th minute, but he headed wide when Lamela picked him from close range after Newcastle cleared Eriksen's freekick.
Seven minutes later, Erik Lamela headed towards the cross bar when Jan Vertonghen sent a cross into the box.
Tottenham continued to grow in frustration as Dubravka parried a well timed shot from Sissoko.
The match looked poised for a barren draw as Solomon Rondon hit the woodwork early in the second half. Meanwhile, there were two goal-line clearances made by Schar and Matt Ritchie at the opposite end in the 65th and 81st minutes respectively.
With just Seven minutes of regular time to play, Son rescued the North London outfit, after making the most of a howler from Dubravka — who let Son's shot slip past through him.
The win sees Tottenham overtake Man City in the title race and also sets a new Premier League record for most games without a draw.

Former Wales boss Chris Coleman has been speaking about Gareth Bale's Real Madrid future this week and has hinted at what he could decide to do.
The Welshman has struggled in recent months and his future is well and truly up in the air.
Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been credited with interested in the player and he could be set for a Premier League return.
Though, Sunderland boss and former Wales manager Chris Coleman has suggested he could stay at Real Madrid.
'After his first year when I used to do the Welsh press conferences, they always used to ask, "The Spanish press are not very happy with him, has he got a future there?". I think he's won three Champions Leagues there," he explained.
'All right, he's done a good stint there, but the last time I spoke to him, he was very happy in Madrid, his family is settled there.
'But he is who he is, Real Madrid are who they are and there are comings and goings all the time.
'If you work so hard to get to a stage in your career where you are seen as one of the better players and you are playing for one of the biggest clubs, that's not somewhere where you want to leave, I would imagine.
Not only was he talking about whether the player would even want to leave a club like Real Madrid, he speculated where the player could possibly go.
Safe to say, he claimed the player would 'probably' choose the Premier League but insists he was happy in Madrid the last time he spoke to him.
'Where does he go from there that's bigger? There's nowhere bigger, so if he does leave Madrid, where's he going to go? It's going to have to be another giant club.
'Is it back here? Probably, maybe if he does move, if it's on the cards. But the last conversations I had with him, he was happy there. He liked the life in Madrid, loved the club.
Gareth Bale subbed off at half time. Coming to a Premier League side near you, this Summer.
Can we all agree that United should stay well away from Gareth Bale.

Terra Mater ili Tellus Mater bila je u rimskoj mitologiji Majka Zemlja. Ona je slična Geji, božici Zemlje u  grčkoj mitologiji. Terra je Rimljanima bila majka bogova i ljudi.

Mitologija
Terra je bila "Velika Majka". Terra je bila personifikacija Zemlje i plodnosti. Ona je jedna od četiri elementa - vatra, voda, zemlja i zrak. Bila je majka Fame, božice slave, te 4 godišnjih doba. Kao što je u grčkoj mitologiji Geja rodila Urana - boga neba, tako je Terra rodila Uranovog rimskog pandana Cela. U Terrinu čast Rimljani su slavili festival zvan Fordicia (ili Hordicia).

Terra u drugim kulturama
Božicu Zemlje koja je temelj svega štovali su mnogi narodi. Postojao je od davnine kult plodnosti, a najvanija božica bila je Majka Zemlja, Velika Majka. Grci su tako štovali Geju i Demetru, a to su Rimljanima bile Terra i Cerera. Mnoge poganske religije su smatrale Zemlju ženskim, a nebo muškim elementom. Iznimku čine Egipćani: kod njih je nebo božica Nut, a Zemlja bog Geb. Kao što je Terra rodila 4 godišnja doba, tako su i Nut i Geb imali 4 djece - Ozirisa, Seta,  Izidu i Neftis.

Today we started packing our bags. Now as you could have been reading in earlier articles, people started asking us WHAT we were going to take and especially HOW.
As we did not really know the answer to those questions neither (except for some general ideas like "not too heavy" and "not too big") we decided to put all the basic stuff we wanted to take together and have a look at the result.
Then it is also very important to look at "personal stuff" each of us wanted to take: Vera being more of a sweet-ache, wishing to take Nutella, candy, chocolate and a bottle of Martinti and Jean-Christophe as a real French would not leave the country without a good bottle of wine, cheese and sausages (did anybody notice the presence of a laptop? Anybody still convinced that my boyfriend is not a geek?).
So if you make a simple count, you will quickly see that all this is not going to fit into our backpack.
So we took things out in order to fit everything in. Result: 11 kg for each of us and a sparkle of hope that we might be able to find some good cheese and some Nutella in Russia.

just to show off, quoting Laozi in chinese.
And, hey Mister Geek, haven't think of a more portable device ?
At least, Tweety, did you translated from English in Chinese, or did you just google it?
One was an ultra tiny and light laptop from Sony. The problem was: it is not affordable.
Just take te Jamboneau and eat it the first day with the bottle of wine?
I asked for the original sentence from my soon to be wife. I am not reading Laozi in Chinese!
So at least I can learn something. If I had google it, it would have just been a simple copy/paste.
About portable device : HTC does some very nice stuff. combine phone/computer and foldable keyboard. Cheaper than a Vaio, and replace you cellphone as well. Well, anyway, too late now !
You'll have to carry your (there is 2 people behind this 'your' ok ?) laptop around the world.
@Thierry: Cellphone??? On a worldtrip??? No, no, no, no, noooo!!!!
And then I think you did not understand quite right what JC explained you above. We are taking a PDA (a Palm) with a foldable keyboard in order to keep track of what we are doing (our travel memoires if you like). So not very big and not very heavy. No laptop!
Oups, my mistake. True, true, I didn't get the palm story as the retained option. But reading the post again, it was perfectly clear in fact.
So traveling super light anyway !
I hope there was still enough space in your bag to take along the Martini. You know… this stuff is essential!
Could not enlarge the map, but remember that from South China, if you pass though Laos, you may arrive in Luang Namtha, where there is our communication base, and which is about 3 hours drive from where I work (Muang Long, heart of gold triangle).
I will be here until mid-October, so you are welcome anytime, the house is nice and big, the beer is good and it is difficult to a more remote and typical place in south east asia than Muang Long (maximum 10 tourists in one year).
As we have no power supply in Long, if you pass to namtha, you can ask for ACF office, or better call me 0205 08 69 56.

Doctor Who and the Climate Change Zombies
Who doesn't like their politics delivered with the subtlety of an articulated lorry gatecrashing your front room? Such was the situation with Sunday night's Doctor Who episode, Orphan 55. In typical Who fashion, the Doctor dropped into a seemingly idyllic scenario hiding a murky underbelly that bursts into the open. Here, the Doctor and friends attend the all-inclusive Tranquillity Spa for a bit of much needed r'n'r. I mean, did you see the two-parter? But very quickly, as they say here in Stoke, things go downbank.
Beginning with Ryan contracting a military-grade virus from a vending machine, the Doctor smells a rat. Why would one be lying in wait in a holiday retreat? Following an emergency alarm it is revealed that paradise is situated in a hostile hellscape. This planet is knowns as Orphan 55, 'orphan' being a designation of formerly habitable planets trashed by their native species and left to rack and ruin while the elite retreat behind high walls or, in this case, blast off into space. Therefore its stunning vistas and sub-tropical sunshine are effects of an advanced VR projection on to walls surrounding the resort and the locals, yes, the locals are kept at bay by means of a force field. And a good job too because they're big, pasty, have huge teeth and a taste for human flesh. Very Who. The native species, known as the Dregs, overwhelm the defences, eat the guests and puts the Doctor and team to flight. Needless to say, everything comes good in the end. A family is reunited in time for a horrible death but our intrepid chrononauts make it safely through to next week's episode.
So, yes. This one had a little bit of politics. While running around in the caverns beneath the spa, the Doctor, Ryan and Yaz happen across a Siberian railway station sign. Surely not? Further investigation turns up more ephemera of a dead earth, and a quick mind meld with a sleeping Dreg reveals them to be our descendants. Yikes. Once safely back on the TARDIS the Doctor gives her gang a lecture about how the future isn't fixed and what they experienced was just one possible timeline among many, but it requires everyone to do something now to prevent this less than optimal outcome. So heavily done it would get the gammon tendency in the country scribbling letters to Points of View, if it still existed.
Anti-capitalist green lefty claptrap? Well, no. Despite the references early on to elites getting away and the remainder left to fend for themselves, the Doctor's message is apolitical greenery dressed up as a hard edged rant. A socialist critique of planetary ruination is a bit too much to expect, but Russell T Davies era Who proved quite adept and assimilating a sly anti-bourgeois sensibility into proceedings. This was too on the nose and too "everyone's to blame". Though that will be too much for some. And yet there is a slightly more subtle level in play.
Much more interesting than the preachy tone are the zombies, for that is what the Dregs really are. With a bit of a nod to HG Wells's The Time Machine, they look sort of dead with their skull-like features and pale complexion, and they entirely fit the conventions of the neoliberal undead. Or, to be more precise, the bourgeois nightmare of resurrected flesh eaters. The anxiety of class rule is such that, never mind how harshly or paternalistically chummy you treat the multitudinous hordes, they can turn an engorge themselves on the body of your property at any moment. Singly they're pretty dumb and easily outwitted, but as a hungry mass they can swarm and strip your assets to the bone. The Dregs fit the part quite well. Consider even the derogatory name, for instance. They dwell outside the resorts walls, free to go where you can never see them and get up to who knows what. And in time they learn your vulnerabilities, finding ways round the best and most sophisticated defences. Once they're in, your goose is cooked. They cannot be stopped and even your laser beams bounce harmlessly off. Yet true to the narcissistic projection of their class, it is the shuffling cadres of Dregs who are to blame for this situation. Never mind that the bourgeoisie created them when they turned Earth into a cinder with runaway climate change and nuclear war, their ridiculous spa is revealed a way of reclaiming the planet they abandoned to the lower orders. In this case, using profiting off holiday makers to fund a terraforming effort. They broke a world and called it an orphan and, having forced the huddled proletarian masses to become monstrous to adapt, they want to take the globe back and leave the Dregs on the scrap heap. Remind you of anything?
The climate change warning then was for us, the everyday folk of Sunday evening television. But the meditation on zombies was just perhaps a more subtle warning to them, the vanishingly tiny boss class perched atop their piles of unearned cash, a preview of what might await them if they carry on as they are.

I think you're having your cake and eating it. The Dregs were precisely a vision of the Morlockish lower orders of humanity (a.k.a. "the dregs of society"), lying in wait to take revenge on the leisured First World middle classes, even surviving nuclear winter like cockroaches - but where's the evidence that the programme was critiquing this vision and not simply articulating it? Look at how the Doctor summarises the 'future'* of Earth after her mind-meld - "The collapse of the food chain! Mass migration! War!" (emph. added).
The message of "Orphan 55" was "we need to change our ways" - "we need to change our ways or else they'll come and eat us".
*If you're an alien with a ship that can travel to any place and any time, in what sense is Earth, 2020 the present and Orphan 55 the 'future'? These days the skiffy element gets sketched in really lightly, if at all (cf. Ryan's conversation with Bella, who appeared not only to be human but to live in a society pretty much identical to our own).

Re the hordes, I remember reading a letter from Engels where he claims that without communism the revoltion will be much much bloodier and violent than if there was no communist movement. He presented communism as a kind of prozac, numbing the working class senses and making it more easily controlled.
This shocked me, partly because extreme violence is what the ruling class deserve!
I think Docker Who is trying to take a leaf out of Game of Thrones book, but Game of Thrones is one of the greatest TV shows ever and Doctor Who is sometimes great but mostly mediocre!
I just wish Blakes7 had been invested in more and Doctor Who had been consigned to history. But given that in Blakes7 the terroists are the heroes and the heroes are terrorists the great censorship will determine that Blakes7 will never be restored!
I just wish HBO could get hold of it, I think it could be better than Game of Thrones!

Guatape, Colombia was not something that we had planned, but a short 2 hour bus ride from Medellin seemed like nothing compared to our longer bus rides. We were glad we made the trip and decided to spend 3 days in Guatape to enjoy the small town and visit some of the sights nearby. One of the highlights of our 3 days was a visit to La Piedra del Penon, a large granite rock that you can climb to the top for 360 views of the surrounding lake and small hills. We spent quite a bit of time at the top enjoying the views on a beautiful afternoon. The town of Guatape is filled with little shops, restaurants and many colorful buildings. It was a nice little town to walk around, but also very busy because of the Colombian holiday weekend.
