Re: Patroling through South America
Just one more note from Colombia...
We always heard that the countryside is where you find most of the Patrols. But we have never seen as many Patrols as we did in Cartagena, which is Colombia's fifth largest city. Up there, they use the Patrols as a means of public transportation. They are literally everywhere!
One day eating lunch at a small restaurant, we sat for 15 minutes and took pictures of every Patrol that passed by... This is how many there are:
(it was kinda difficult eating lunch while taking the pictures)

Re: Patroling through South America
haha... that's crazy... kind of like playing a game of "slug bug" in the US, whenever you see a Volkswagon 
your arm would be sore after spotting that many Patrols...
