Greetings! Here are some pictures of downtown Bogotá taken on December 12th, 2011. And then some random pics of Bogotá.
El Chorro de Quevedo. This is where many historians say that Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada founded Bogotá in 1583. It is located in the Candelaria district, downtown.
I like donkeys. Here is a man with one.
Here is what the streets of the Candelaria look like. Neat place.
Beautiful day downtown. After a weeks and weeks of rain, it was nice to see the color blue in the sky again. However, a couple hours after this picture was taken it started to rain again.
Statue of a guy juggling on a unicycle. It seems to be a fairly popular thing to do. I've seen more unicycle jugglers in the last 8 months than I have in my entire life.
The birthday cake Didi got me! Yum!
Lot's of cool graffiti in the Candelaria. Exhibit A.
A picture of the statue of Simon Bolivar in the Plaza de Bolivar.
A view of downtown from Simon Bolivar Park. The mountains are big.
Lourdes. A cool church and meeting place. Neat part of town.
A cool looking bird in the park.
Well, that's all for now. I'm officially on vacation for the year. Gonna catch up on sleep.
Saludos desde Bogotá
