Breaking it down in Bogota

By far, today was the best day yet! First of all, we totally slept in (some of them did-I did not). Then we went on a great adventure to find Crepes! However it took us over an hour searching to no avail, so we settled for another place - which happened to have Crepes. Little did we know, those Crepes weren't Crepes at all...at least not in the usual sense.  They were tasty, just unexpected. Later on in the day we realized the place we were originally looking for was only 5 blocks from our hostel...on the same street. Oops!  Anyhow, after brunch, we trekked it for the church on the hill! We walked about a mile (uphill) until we reached the gondola that took us up to an elevation of around 3500km! The church itself wasn't anything super spectacular but we still had a great time.  The view of the city was quite breathtaking! We stayed for a while just enjoying the scenery,  they had a beautiful gardened area with the stations of the cross which was also enjoyable to see. We came home and rested for a bit before heading to dinner!  We asked our host where he would recommend to eat and he told us the general area and said to look for the guy with dreads...we found him and boy were we glad! First of all, the place sold gyros which I found a bit strange. They also were playing reggae music.  Well the gyros were SO DELICIOUS and the music was jammin!  We found out there was a little raggae club underneath the restaurant so of course we made an appearance! We grooved it out for about 10 minutes before heading back. We would have stayed longer but it was already passed the safe curfew.  So we scurried home only to get ready for part two of the evening! Our host took us salsa dancing!  I am telling you, I haven't had that much fun in a long time!!! We had a group of 8 or so and we all had our time out on the dance floor! I was bustin moves I forgot I had! It had been so long since I danced salsa, I wasn't sure I'd pick it back up, but I felt Colombian right off the bat! Felt like home! I seriously cannot describe how much fun we all had! I even had the guts to ask a guy to dance with me,,,older gentleman with dreads...won-der-ful! Anyway, here it is around 2 am and we're just finishing up for the day! Overall, it was productive w a bit of relaxation and lots of exercise throughout the day! Love it! Time is flyin...Ecuador count down is less than 48 hours away! 

Buenos noches!
