We decided to escape from the perpetual horn honking and Defcon-5-car-alarm-sounding, overly-cute stray-dog filled streets of Bogotá. So we hopped another bus and left the city and ventured into a quaint little town called Tabio located just 28 miles north of Bogotá. (or about an hour on a bus that will teach you the meaning of car sick)
Tabio, which comes from the Chibcha word, "Teib", meaning "hole or dent," has a population of about 20,000. The main industries in Tabio are floriculture, carrots, peas, corn and potatoes. It also is known for it's desserts. (I resisted) Other than that it has a pretty neat collection of colonial arquitecture.
Panoramic shot of Tabio, I mean "Dent". (Tabio is also famous for hot springs, so maybe the name of the town has to do with that)
The church in the main square.
Tabio is surrounded by mountains and is a little chillier than Bogotá.
South Carolina's international legacy. Made me feel at home. Frankly, I'm surprised it didn't have Seymour plates.
"Here end all vanities of the world." An interesting way to decorate an entrance to a cementary.
Well, everything is going great in Bogotá. Saludos desde Bogotá!
