Bogota

We landed in Bogota caught another salsa blasting, lane weaving taxi to our hostel and

tried to catch a walking tour to make the most of our day. Fortunately we made it in

time. We heard a bit of the bogota history tried some delicious exotic fruits, tasted the

illegal drink of chicha (corn beer) and wandered the streets. With a noticeable limp in

our step and the sun and heat on what was supposed to be another rainy day which

now makes only 1/12 of the days of weather predictions right for the trip, we decided to

call the tour quits as in exchange for some much needed sleep. Bogota wasn't the most

beautiful place we had seen and the next 24 hours were going to be long. We grabbed

a quick lunch and a nice long 3 hour nap to try and rest up for the last night of our trip.

Andrius came back over and we went on a wild goose chase to play the Colombian

sport of Tejo.



 After finally locating the diviest bar I've ever seen we walked through

sausage restaurant into the back where packs of men were playing the ancient

Colombian game. The point of the game is still unclear but it's essentially Corn hole with

dynamite. After hearing the explosions and getting hit with some mud shrapnel we

weren't sure we wanted to play. Our waiter was pretty adamant about us playing and

recognized we maybe shouldn't be on the big boy courts and ushered us upstairs to a

private area and a smaller version of the game.

Rich ended up as the champion of our

version but we were all pretty excited to have made one explosion each. We grabbed a

bite for dinner at a Russian place and then headed back to pr- game for our party bus

to Andres de res. We hopped on the bus and headed out to the massive restaurant that

turns into the bar/club in Bogota. With countless rooms and music styles the place was

rocking with locals and visitors galore. We grabbed our bottle and made our way

through the different rooms. As we left we ran into a group of people who sang the

Miguelito Nececito song with us. Apparently it was sweeping the nation. Our bus trip

home got us back just in time to get to the airport where we return home after an

amazing vacation.
