I fell in Love with Bogota

I loved Bogota! The only thing I would change is the weather, but other than that, I love it. I arrived on Sunday afternoon and the best host in the world, Felipe, came to pick me up. He showed me around a little and we ate and then I went to my hostel. I stayed in La Candeleria for the first few nights since its the touristy area and I am a tourist. Went to some museums, walked around, just explored. Mo and his friend Justin came on Tuesday, it was good to see them!

My Street

Bogota is HUGE

The Plaza
On Wednesday night, Felipe took us gringos out to dinner and then we went to a club. It was fun, he bought tequila so things got a little sloppy... on my part only. haha. On Thursday I moved to Casa Felipe, which was amazing! I wanted to move in and be the newest member of the family. His family was so nice and welcoming, thank you Felipe!

Night out
I hung out on the northern part of town Thursday through Saturday. Friday night was so fun! We went out and danced our little hearts out. Saturday we woke up and went to the Salt Mine Cathedral place. Which was also pretty amazing. It was a cathedral built in a salt mine. It was spooky.

Cathedral/salt mine
After the salt mines, we (Justin, Felipe and myself) decided to celebrate Valentines Day at Andres Carne de Res, which is probably the funnest place on earth. I almost changed my plans to stay in Bogota another night, just so we could hang out there longer. Its a restaurant outside of town that is just crazy. The people are crazy, the food is awesome, its just so entertaining and fun. I would go back just for that!

Delicious! Patacon, bananas with cheese

Valentines Day fun

Bogota looks and sounds awesome! I think its no coincidence that your awesome south american host is named Felipe... its a good name! What is this club all about? It looks like a bar in the village! LOVE IT! Hope you are having fun! The girls came over tonight, and we were looking at pictures from your informal going away party (at the piano bar) and your real going away party. We miss you!!! Are you still in Bogota? Where are you off to next?!

I love the Valentine's Day picture! It's like V Day and Halloween all rolled into one. Splendid. Also love the "Dreamy Tequila" look in your eyes in the other picture :-)
