After a brief stopover in Vancouver to visit some family, I flew to Bogota, Colombia. I spent a few days getting used to the altitude (2640m, which you can definitely feel when you come from sea level) and wandering around the streets. The pope was there for the first few days, which meant that absolutely everything was shut, including all the good museums, and there were police all over the place, but he left just before I did, which was a relief. Mostly, I just took pictures of streets so these photos aren’t particularly exciting.

Church in the central square…

…with lots of people.

Welcome, pope.

Looking at the hills behind town.

Pretty street number 1.

Pretty street number 2.

Pretty street number 3.

Big buildings.

Graffiti.

And that’s all you’re getting, I’m afraid.
