So we are here in Bogota, Colombia! We had an early morning, getting up at 5. We hopped on the plane and arrived safe and sound! Fortunately, we found a great taxista that helped us find our amazing hostel! My first impression of Bogota was not good-I actually wanted to head back to the smoldering heat of Cartegena. However, after exploring a bit of the city with Chelsea, I actually really like this city (despite the danger that lurks around every corner). Our hostel hosts are AMAZING! (Shout Out to the Colombian Dream Hostel) Guillermo (host) took us to a place for some hot chocolate and bread and then helped me find the best deal for exchanging my money! After our walk about in the city, we decided to rest a bit. Well that didn't go as planned. Seriously people, we feel (and look) as if we are in the South Pole swimming in the water naked. *by look I don't mean we are naked...I mean we are bundled in whatever we could find! Haha! Reminder that none of us brought warm clothes...we all have only 1 pair of pants and various t shirts to layer. So, needless to say we did not rest well. We requested extra blankets, which we received. My roommates found a burrito wrapping method w a blanket...I'll have to try it tomorrow night, if I survive!
We did introduce the game of UNO to our hostel host and his brother! That was quite entertaining, but it went well. Then we were taught a game called Parques (similar to Sorry). That wraps up our evening and now we're wrapping up in blankets! Goodnight all you WARM readers! Don't take the heat for granted! ;)
