5 de agosto 2010

It was 65 degrees, partly cloudy with a nice breeze when we arrived in Bogotá today. I'm sure when the rainy season comes I'll miss this, so I'm going to soak it in. Oh, and I love love love living next to the mountains.

We didn't sleep at all last night so the afternoon was one big siesta. It's nice to know that we'll be here for a while, there's no guilt in sleeping the day away. But we woke up in time to wander around and not find a (cheap) place to eat dinner - apparently the neighborhood we're in (La Candelaria) is a university and business area, so restaurants aren't open at night. It doesn't matter - it felt great to walk around, there were tons of people in the street. I'm already excited about speaking Spanish. Someone thought I was from Argentina today! (ok ok, he was Brazilian so he couldn't exactly know that I talk like a gringa)

No exciting stories yet, but just you wait!

  3. Very cool blog design and name. Signed up through RSS. I just started as director of strategic communications on climate change for The Nature Conservancy and we have some indigenous people/forest projects there. Maybe I'll get to visit. How long are you there? Also, say hi to Valderama for me (Columbian soccer legend from '94 World Cup squad).
