Bogota Baby

The last stop on the tour - Colombia. I have been in Bogota for a little over a week, enjoying lazy, rainy days, long walks that are sometimes damp, sometimes not, and the upper class comforts of Brendan's neighborhood. Juan Valdez cafes abound, and the coffee here is killer. Last night I went to see a Colombian film called Bluff, giving Brendan a chance to work on his masters papers in peace and me the challenge of watching a movie entirely in Spanish. I am happy and proud to report that it went very well, and in fact the movie was really quite good. Netflix it y'all.

Tomorrow I go to Cartagena, a city I have wanted to visit since I saw Romancing the Stone a million years ago. ("Joan Wilder?! THE Joan Wilder?! I have read all of your books!" Classic.) Apparently it also has quite a bit of history to offer the interested traveler, colonial architecture, Spanish walls built to keep the bad guys out, and no doubt a 5:1 residents to churches ratio. To be back at sea level, even if only for a few days, will also be a delight.
