Short Video: Bogotá

Back in the snow, I have over 2, 000 pictures more to publish and tell stories about. In the meantime, I made this short video:






The song is "Volverte a Ver" by Juanes. It's a song about missing someone you love and I think it applies to Bogotá.

Bogotá is unlike anything you'd ever expect. It's a city of 8 million people and it's always alive. These are just some of the beautiful things you can see there.

Ciclovia- Bogotá's Bicycle Lanes

On Sundays and holidays, Bogotá opens up the Ciclovia and closes principal avenues to clear the way for cycling and skating aficionados. We rented two bikes and joined in on the fun. Although the ciclovia extends for most of the city, we stayed in a 8-block area since we were on rentals and I didn't exactly think I could rush back to the bike shop in time.




Nonetheless, we had an awesome time and, since we were around the city's principal Plaza Bolivar, had bonus fun of people-watching.
