Hi Everybody! Friday Walt and I have ventured out of our La Candelaria neighborhood. The owner of the hostel negotiated with a taxi driver to take us to several areas of Bogota. We went to the train station to purchase tickets for the Sunday tourist train. The station was quite large and vacant except for one ticket counter. The station property was not well kept.

Walt and I enjoy traveling to interesting places, meeting new friends, and sharing our adventures with others. I started this journal-blog when we made our extended trip to Asia in 2006. Writing the blog has gotten to be a habit. After this trip around the world, I am going to limit the blog to one per country. We hope you will keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.... full info

Eucalyptus Trees

The drive in the eucalyptus forest above the city was beautiful!

Cross at Foot of Monserrate Mtn.

Cable Car to Monserrate

Monserrate is a high mountain overlooking Bogota. It has a white church on top that can be seen from almost any point in Bogota.

View of Bogota from Cablecar

It was raining so the picture is not real clear. Bogota is a huge city that sprawls in all directions.

Monserrate Church

This church is visible throughout the city of Bogota.

Monserrate Church

The church had a statue of Christ on the altar. It depicted him after he had been removed from the cross.

Trip
Judy, this has been a very interesting trip. One week in Bogota has worked out just right. We have felt safe and have had a great time! My friend, Susan, is at the condo. Have you met her?

Picture perfect
You do the BEST blog!! I always learn something as well as being entertained...and you make me want to go there even if I know I don't want to. I had forgotten that Botera was from Bogota. I think there's a lot that I have forgotten!! It's nice to have the old memory jogged. Take care. c
