Never enough Empanadas

Yum!
I totally agree that you can never have enough empanadas, hope the other food has been good too. Bogota looks amazing, and the misty views you describe reminded me of a book called Reputations by Juan Gabriel Vasquez (based in Bogota). We saw an episode of Anthony Bourdain's in Colombia where he flew into the heart of the jungle. We miss him too :(

Yum!
We've had some good food and we've had some bland food. We are meeting a friend tonight for some authentic Colombian food that I suspect will be very good. They have amazing soups and fruit here. The cheese we've eaten is not good as well as many of the breads. They need to add a it of salt to the bread in our opinion.
