Finished my breakfast special which included a cafe con leche all for under $3. Eggs, fresh baked roles, fruit and gronola with juice...The background jazz is a pleasant surprise, masking the obnoxious and seemingly culturally accepted hooking of car horns. The soft rain brings new smells, city smells, and makes the footsteps of passerbys noticeable. The mist pouring over the surrounding mountain tops is accented by the lush greenery that surrounds a giant capital city. This backdrop of booming Bogota is earily suitable and calming amongst the chaos and unsettled Colombian bustle.
I was just reminded of the police escort of the Colombian president...what a sight. Dozens of motorcycle cops and blacked out suvs stopped the city. my cab driver seemed to test the boundaries, constantly being slowed by the motorcycle cops as he chased the entourage closely. We both had fun speeding through the empty streets as if we were following an active ambulance who had just cleared the way.
Off to the artisan shops for some gifts for You!
