Bogota

We were in Bogota for a quick layover. I really liked the city, but sadly, we were only there three days.

We stayed at a hostel called Masaya. We got to sleep in bunk beds that I, personally, was a big fan of. They had big breakfasts with exotic fruits and pancakes. They also had a fun game where you could throw disks into metal holes shaped as frog mouths. The further back the mouth, the more points you got. The last night we were there, they had an activity called a “jam session.” We decided to check it out. I got to play drums while a guy was playing the piano and another guy was playing guitar. It was a blast.

I am not a big fan of museums and the Museum of Gold was not an exception. However, we did go there our first and second day due to my mom’s persuasion. It might sound cool, but it was just another one of “those” museums. There were lots of rooms and things to read, that’s what I mean by “those museums.” Not any interactive stuff, just words.

We also went to a museum of plump people, the person who did the art (Botero) claimed that he was just painting and sculpting with different proportions. The museum had a very nice garden. We started getting hungry towards the end and decided to eat lunch at the museum’s restaurant. It was there that I had the world’s best churro. The churro was under a blanket of powdered sugar and was paired with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.

After lunch, later in the afternoon, we went to a famous hot chocolate and cheese place. Apparently, you are supposed to dunk your cheese in hot chocolate. I tried it and it was yummy.
