First stop Bogota Gold Museum.


Gold. Gold And more gold! This area is definitely into heavy metal. (Excuse the pun!)
We saw everything from ceremonial masks, to beautiful jewelry and even crowns. The whole process of making gold was explained and it is not a simple process or even just one process. I hope you like a sample of what I saw.

Next we walked around beautiful downtown Bogota in an area called La Candelaria. It had such quaint streets but oh so much graffiti. This is the view from the roof top of a restaurant we stopped at.


The last two photos show the changing of the guard at the palace and the square where all of the activities of this vibrant town take shape.

Finally it was hotel bound then hot soup and bread and a well earned sleep......
