Greetings from Bogotá, the city of eternal 65 degree, overcast weather! While I hear it's getting hot in Indiana, we remain frozen in time at a comfortable ,
I-can't-complain-about-this-ever temperature mix somewhere between a rainy Spring day and the childhood joy of jumping in a pile of freshly raked leafs.
I've never seen a city like this before that is literally built on the side of a mountain. The mountains look stunning and overpowering from any point in the city.
My view (looking east) every morning before hopping on the Transmilenio. No picture or words and do the mountains justice. But that won't stop me from trying. :)
One of the coolest things in this city is the amazing examples of graffiti. It's incredible.
The other day, I went to the mall to grab a bite to eat and was pleasantly surprised by this: antique cars!
1928 Ford Speedster
1931 Chevy Sport Coupe
1946 Ford Woody Wagon. Didn't these come standard with Tommy guns?
1954 Ford Skyliner
1955 Chevy Bel Air
'55 Ford Customline
'57 Bel Air
1966 Mustang!
My favorite: 1928 Ford A Pick Up
Another 1928 Ford A Pick Up
'50 Chevy Convertible
1953 Chevy Pick Up
1955 Crown Vic
1964 Mercedes Benz 220S
Another Ford A Pick Up.
Tamal. Typical breakfast food here. Chicken, sometimes pork as well, rice and some more stuff wrapped in plantain leafs. Delicious. Usually served with hot chocolate. Colombians drink a lot of hot chocolate.
Colombian money! Yep, it looks like Monopoly money! And no, I have no clue who any of the people are, except for the guy on the 1000 peso bill. That is the guy I wrote about whose assassination provoked La Violencia.
That's all for now! Everything is great in Colombia!
Saludos desde Bogotá!
