The Nacional Museum
Greetings!
Bogotá this morning.
Checked out The National Museum today. It's pretty cool. I still prefer The Smithsonian, but it had a lot of fascinating exhibits on Colombian history.
The Colombian Constitution (of 1991), or at least a nice looking copy.
"An education from the cradle to the grave, unconforming and reflective that inspires in us a new way of thinking and encourages us to discover who we really are in a society that cares more about itself..."
A compass used by a conquistador. Can you imagine crossing the Atlantic with that?
Cool masks
John Lennon circa Sgt. Peppers (if he wore George's suit)....I mean Simon Bolivar.
The Colombian armada beating up on Spain.
The Battle of Boyacá.
Fat people dancing on Independence Day. Tomorrow's Independence Day, so I'll keep an eye out.
Cartagena a long time ago.
A former president's desk.
Cool paintings.
Now that I'm going bald, this sculpture makes me nostalgic...
Going to the market.
Happy Colombian Independence Day! Saludos desde Bogotá!
