the life of a princess

Funny restaurant in Candelaria (on of the older districts), Bogota.

Restorations of gold from the Museu del Oro..."When he is transformed into a bat and jaguar, man evokes and merges the knowledge and habits of these two animals and revelas the secrets of life and death" ... from the display in the museum. Interesting, the historical significance of metallurgy. This is some of the gold the Conquistadores didn't get away with.

More of the Kougi indigenous people. Is he wearing a rolex? Ohh wait, its casio. The first modern accesory I have seen them wear.

Tamales Tolimense (tamales from the Tolima region). Delicioso! Wrapped in palm leaves.

This is the legendary Catalina de Cartagena de Indias. Supposedly, she learned spanish when the conquistadores got here and moved to Espania to live with her love. She was the first native to be able to communicate with the Conquistadores...

A place called Suesca where I went climbing. Luckily, there is a Saint on the little jut of rock to watch over us.

LIke I said, gourmet food, fit for a Princess. Made by the other legendary Catalina!

Some of that wild grafitti I mentioned.

View from the top of Colpatria tower, the bullfighting ring and planetarium...

A Colombian financial institution. Every night the building comes alive with lights which change color constantly, it looks peculiar against the dark nigth sky. I kind of want to have a giant disco party there.

A small portion of Plaza Bolivar, a magnificent feat of colonial architecture.
