Return to Colombia

Last night we asked Fernando to take us back to Santa Rosa, which is a beautiful part of Bogota, full of restraunts, bars and parks. We had dinner at ''Dixie´s BBQ'' and it was by far the best meal we've had while we were away. Everyone swapping parts of their dishes and enjoying the local Club Colombia beer.

We all noted the fact that if you thought of the captial city of Bogota, you would never imagine having a fantastic meal outside surrounded by other people. We felt very safe, and headed to the Irish pub for a whiskey before heading home (no where in the world can you escape Irish pubs it seems).

Overall, the thought that I could have grown up in Bogota both makes me curious and scares me. I feel so lucky to be back in Bogota and able to enjoy it like this. I'm already dreading leaving and cannot wait to see more.

After recovering after last night's pub crawl, we spent the morning recovering over lunch and headed out to see the cathedral next to our hostel. From there we walked through the streets of Mexico City until we came to the markets.

After walking around for some time we headed back on the metro and walked the rest of the way. We've just come back from a great meal as we celebrated our last night with Joanie and Shmo.

The authentic food we've had here is fantastic, and we've thoroughly enjoyed every meal. Really over the beer (and good whiskey is hard to find), especially when they mix salt and lime into it. Overall, there dark beer is far better than any Corona.

Tomorrow we're all heading on an all day tour to the Volcano.
